The joys of being a grandparent
Life, Samila Wenin, Published on 29/05/2012
» My parents have always been accidental grandparents. The time they were presented with their first granddaughter, they were still a full-time corporate executive and a state enterprise employee with at least 10 work years to go. Barely 50, and they were already grandparents.

» HE QUESTION isn't easy to ask, and it's even much less easy to answer. It requires the right timing and the right delivery, let alone some guts.
