Since before my first grandson was born I have longed for a granddaughter. When I had four grandsons, the fifth was announced also as a boy. Both DDs have announced there will be no more babies. I must admit, much as I love the boys dearly, I did feel a great sadness that the yearned for granddaughter would remain just a dream. Now, however, I realise what a fool I have been. The last boy has arrived with complicated health issues. At nine weeks he has had heart surgery, and also has a separate condition which makes his future uncertain. Now all I feel is a great yearning for that little boy to make it, and to grow up strong and healthy. Never again will I regret what I do not have, but will count my many blessings.
