how do you feel when your daughter is about to have a baby!

it is an interesting place to be...waiting for your daughter to have a baby...
some days I am scared for her...i want to be able to take the pain away...i want to carry some of it myself..to lessen it for her.

Some days i get a little worried about the baby - will he/she be healthy? I realize we will face that fact soon enough - so i tend to not dwell on that for long.

Then there are days i that i feel overwhelmed with this renewed sense of urgency for our world...I want us to get things straightened out so these kids will have fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink, and I want wars to stop and ...and...

and some days i just tear up...
