Completion of 1 generation

[shootingstar]

This latest nephew marks probably the end of the next generation after my siblings and I. Just born earlier this week. He is no. 7 of a bunch of nieces and nephews from 3 siblings (out of 6 in total).

So who knows what will happen in the subsequent generations.

I chose not to have children and know I made the right decision. But even so, it's a nice thought that somewhere in this world, the family continues. (Even if none of us had any children, there are cousins with children and great cousins with children).

I'm just contemplating longevity of life into the future. In ways I cannot explain, this latest new family member coincides with the knowledge that our father has cancer.

By the way, this baby's older sister, she shares the same birthday with me.
