I'm feeling old

Two of my students from last year got married yesterday. Technically they were Linda's students, but they were regular participants of my writing club, so they count us both as their English teachers. They never met in person until Graduation. By the summer, he was going to her church. By the fall, she had moved out of her parents' home and in with his family. They are expecting a daughter in June. I am easily old enough to be a mother to either of them. While I have plenty of students with children, this one seems to be affecting me more because of my deep affection for both of them. I'm worried for them but am hoping for nothing but the best. His family is providing a ton of love and support. They will need it but I think they'll be okay. I hope.
