GRANDS

Grandkids are indeed GRAND....especially ALL of mine....they bring smiles to my sometimes dreary world...they bring a lift to my spirit when it is down.....they do so very much for me by just being themselves....they don't have to impress me....they accept my love freely offered with no doubts and no demands....unpretentious....
My hope is that I am giving them something as well....that is is a mutual give and take.....perhaps that includes a history....perhaps that includes a listening heart.....perhaps that includes strength or stability....or maybe an unconditional love.... these and so much more are what my grandparents gave me. No, they did not replace my parents, but they gave such a great added dimension to my own soul...my own being....they were some of the most important people in my life....
I think my own children and others as well, can relate to that...maybe thats why the people who invented this language put the "GRAND " in front of GRANDchildren and GRANDparents......because it is
GRAND.....Thank you kids for all you bring into my life and all the lessons I learn from your simplicity.....I LOVE YOU A, B, C, D, I AND S......
