I'm not quite at that kid stage yet, but I'm 31 and getting married this weekend. I'm the youngest of 3, so my parents are a bit older. I was at a birthday party for a 1 year old this weekend and the kid's great grandmother was there. It bothers me sometimes when I realize that my own kid will be very lucky to even have a grandparent around for some of the bigger events (graduation, wedding, etc...).
