Surpise, surprise, surprise!
My friend Judy up and moved to New England a few years back. Sure miss her! Lately she's been adding to my mid-life crisis, because every time she calls it seems that it's to tell me that someone is dead. It reminds me that we're getting older, our parents are getting older, people we know are struck with unbelievable tragedies. We talk of the fact that in our twenties and early thirties that we went to many weddings and bridal showers and baby showers, but now in our forties we find ourselves attending many more funerals, and we only look forward to our children being a little older to start celebrating their happy milestones.
But tonight Judy threw me for a loop. At 41 years old, with two boys aged 12 and 7, she is expecting a baby in October. Wow. She's a great mom and will do very well with another child. I hope she will have the girl she has long wanted, but even if it's another boy it will certainly be a cherished child. I am very happy for her, and positively giddy that it's her and not me, haha.
And if she calls Tuesday and tells me this is all an elaborate April Fool's Day joke, I'll kill her.
