That is cool! My oldest step son asked me last year to go to the school camp and it was a lovely moment

My 23 yr old son and I live together. We are good mates.
Those magical moments can go on for ever - well it seem like it anyway.

Parents are cool people to hang out with - I go riding with my Dad as often as I can, and I am very happy when he says how well I am riding.

Aye.

My eldest stole my heart the day she was born - at the age of almost 24 she still hasn't given it back.

The precious "cutesy" moments of childhood can be replaced with deeper and more subtle moments of connection, as they become adults.

Amy and her husband both work in our business, and she and I are teamed up half the time. They recently bought their first house - directly across the road from us. Many laugh at our closeness - we love it.

Friday at 4pm is "staff meeting" time at our place. Yesterday at 4 the wife of another employee dropped their three-month old baby boy off, while she went to work. I spent the entire meeting holding this lovely wee chappy. Another wonderful moment - they just keep coming. Yes indeed, life is good...

As for being a grandad - I can't wait.

I never realised just how much fun being a Grandad would be. With little Aston now five and going to school I love the times I have to pick him up frmo school! WE've got him for the weekend as his Mum, (our eldest daughter) and Dad have gone away for their wedding anniversary, (8years).

This morning, although he came in and told me it was time to get up because, "I can see the Sun, Grandpa!"

I got up and made him breakfast. As we were going to the lounge he said, "I love you Grandpa!" and gave me a hug!

Yup! Life is great!
