Some very good friends of mine are having a baby soon. The baby's due date is November 7, 2013. The doctor has told them that they are having a girl. The name they have chosen to give their new daughter is Sarah Ryleigh. I am anxiously awaiting her arrival, as I'm sure mom and dad are, too. I plan on spoiling this child just as any grandma would spoil her own grandchild.
Sarah's father is my son's best friend. They went to school together and my son was the best man at his wedding. I have come to look at him not only as my son's friend but as a friend of mine, as well. We have done a lot for each other in the past few years.
Sarah's mother is a wonderful young woman. We have become very close in the last several months even though I am much older than her. We spent almost every day during the summer together and even have classes together in college. She is quite nervous about becoming a mother. She asks a lot of questions which I am happy to answer, if I can. I hope that in some small way I have helped to reassure her that she is going to be a great mother.
To my good friends and the soon to be parents of Sarah, I will be there for you when you need me and even when you don't. After all, this is my baby, too. Just kidding!
Sarah, I look forward to the day we meet.
