As a parent with grown children, my greatest joys are when they come and visit us. I am very happy to know that as we grow older, our children and grandchildren will be a part of our lives. I can't imagine how lonely I would feel if I knew I was getting older with no children. Being a young parent with young children can be extremely difficult, but it's the most effective way to overcome egoism and selfishness that I've ever experienced. And the joy and slow anguish that comes from watching your children grow into capable, interesting people is indescribable.
