Hello,
I've been lurking on Gransnet for a while now. I like the general discussions and as my son married a few months ago I've been hoping for news of a grandchild on the way for a little while. But on the weekend that hope was shattered. They announced that they will not be having children. They say they are quite happy and like their lives as they are. Children are not in their future. And I must accept that grandchildren are not in mine. I am trying very hard to respect their decision but inside I am absolutely distraught. Since they told me I've felt an absolute emptiness inside. I know most of you will have grandchildren so perhaps I'm asking for support in the wrong place. Unfortunately I don't know of a NotaGransnet.com.
