However it works out, you can find the silver lining in it.
My dad was 42 when I was born. If he would have had me at 22, I'd be 65 instead of 45. I'm so glad I'm 45! Also, by the time I was born, my parents had more money and time to do stuff with us. All of my older brothers and sisters had less of that and way more rules.
Luckily my dad is also still alive and well, as is my mom, and live nearby so they can see our kids grow.
Everything has its gives and takes.
