My son Eric lives in Kentucky and he and Chris are pregnant. He called me today to let me know that he is going to be Daddy to a Son and that tickles me because I just know he is going to be just like his Father. Hey, what goes around comes around so I think that should be very fair.

Eric will be 38 this year and he hasn’t been very lucky with his dream of having children. He has lost 4 babies so I’m thrilled for him and I know he will be a good Father. He use to play Santa Clause when he was young at the mall and he loved it. He was always a big boy so he didn’t ever need padding and he was really good with the kids.

They are headed to California and they both like to travel so I’m sure that will be a fun trip for them. Chris is a traveling nurse and she got a position out there and of course Eric has a legal problem to take care of so they will be there for awhile. I had planned to go to Kentucky for the birth, but I can’t make it to California so I hope they are back in time for the birth.

I don’t know how long his legal case will be, it might be years, if they decide to stay out there they will have to consider schools, location, pediatricians and if they will keep their Kentucky home for a get away. Hopefully the little boy will have perfect teeth when he gets permanent ones, but if not children’s orthodontics in San Diego CA would be a good place to check out, my ex boss is from there and she recommended it.

So now he will experience a lot of things I went through being a parent and maybe he will understand things better as a parent, but I doubt it. He always had a problem with authority and I’m quite sure he still does. We are not as close as I would like, but I survived and so did he and this should be quite the experience.
