Re: Two decent days in a row.. Very Grateful!

[Guest guest]

Dear Judy,

Happy to hear you've had two good days, may they continue for a very

long time to come. My Grand-children are one of the best soueces of

pain relief I have. They take my mind off everything around me. I

simply watch them in amazement, though I am exhausted when they go

home. lol I too need a nap. My grand-daughter is 21 months and my

grandson 15 months old. I just love it when she calls me Dadad and

can't wait for him to start speaking.

I wonder where your Grand-daughter gets her stubborness from?

Hmmm....maybe one of Nana's traits....LOL LOL

Keep the light shining,

Ian.

Ian,

You're probably right about where she gets her stubbornness from. :-)

Isn't grand

parenting wonderful!!

I just had a heart to heart with my daughter tonight. We have been

estranged for several months because both of us are stubborn.

That has been terribly stressful on both of us. We have always been so

close.

The stress level for both of us has been very high and we have barely spoken.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Happy Easter and Happy grand parenting,

Judy

Dear Judy,

They do say that Grand-children are God's reward for not " killing "

your own kids. LOL Nice to hear you have made up with your

daughter. Family is the most important thing to me. This disease

has given me a wonderful relationship with my grand-children. I

spend as much time with them as possible without trying to intrude

on my son's lives. In the end we only want what we feel is best for

them. But what we feel is best is not always what they feel is best

for themselves and sometimes they forget or don't realise that we

will never stop caring, don't want them to hurt, and feel that we

over-react. Have a happt easter with God's special little bundle of

pain relief!!!

Keep the light shining,

Ian.
