Yes, it sure would be terrible! I love my granddaughter, Paris, so much I just get teary typing this because I can't be there as much as I would like to, to see her grow up every day of my life!!! Now the same with my soon-to-be 2-year-old granddaughter!!!!!
It makes me ill when some friends of mine complain that they have to babysit their grandchildren...I would give my right arm to be able to babysit mine, just even to play with them or watch them while they are playing...
When Duke mentioned his Grandfather, it brought all that pain back to me, too. So we sympathize with you, Weiser!
It took me 23 wasted years to realize an elder doesn't just get respect, they have to earn it, which is why I am trying to live by that now with my sons and granddaughters...
It sure does feel good to "let it all out" here, but it does bring out more anger which I thought was dealt with, and does it ever really get dealt with?
