Grandparenting
What a joy it is to be able to share in the lives of our grandchildren, blossoming into talented and loving human beings. Some of our grandchildren are on the West Coast. Some are in Vietnam. Some are in Kensington. This week the four year old had a severe virus, our daughter was under the weather, her husband was in Azerbaijan, and the two year old confused by it all. My husband, Ray, and I were able to spend several days with them in Kensington. It wasn’t all fun, but there were some really happy moments. Tears, tantrums and Tylenol were all part of the mix and we would not trade being there for anything.
