Two out of four called me and told me they were pregnant before they told me they were getting married. But, daughters are daughters and you gotta love them. I'm just to young to feel this damn old.

Weren't we all. Your girls may not be blond but they are beautiful. I was (pregnant "Joy was", not beautiful "Joy is beautiful"). Marriage is a Church "idol" not a Christian belief. If God wanted us to be married before we got pregnant then his design was really faulty. If he created the universe with a black hole that can devour 3 billion suns bigger than our total galaxy he is not going to make a mistake in human design. Praise the Lord he didn't.
You say, ”I'm just to young to feel this damn old,” and that is a very real and honest feeling—but you must get passed it. This is about your daughter, the man she is with who stood up for his responsibility, and perhaps most of all, the being who will be born soon enough. It is their time lines, complexity of experiences to come, with all its rough waves that matters. So I say raises those glasses high and “To Life!” for all three beautiful beings.

they make a beautiful couple. hope they will be happy.
I wish them well. My brothers both did this, with unhappy result (THEY weren't PG, their brides were :D). I waited til I was 30, then I couldn't have kids anyway! Now all of my nephews and my niece have been carrying on the married young and PG thing - yes, we are much too young to feel this dam'd old.
It's interesting for David to say we must get past the much too young to feel this damn old (especially with his tendencies to be darkly introspective!), but . . . it is YOUR daughter and you cannot help but worry. I don't have kids myself and I still feel too young to feel so old (I'm a bit younger then you by a few years). One reason is probably because I have outlived my parents and both elder brothers now and am virtually alone - another is seeing what kid are doing today (the same dumb stuf

Well! Congrats! Nice couple!
Interesting...(especially with his tendencies to be darkly introspective!, because you are almost right. But I am not darkly "intro"-spective, I'm darkly "inter"-spective, which has to do with concerns for others before myself. It is not an easy daily task to take on and I often fail at it. I do think everyone should try spiraling out to others who need support and not inward toward self interests. I think the "inner path" as a goal has been an error of every major religion in teaching.
