Yesterday my friend, Karol, baked brownies "just in case a hungry grand child stopped by". That is what grandmothers do--anticipate. Actually, Karol does much more than anticipate. No matter the situation, she is there for her children and her grandchildren.
Today the batteries failed on Sam's school bus. Without missing a beat, Sam went to the cup of screwdrivers, picked the correct size and handed it to Papa. The bus was up and running in no time.
Sister-in-law, Barbara, records favorite books and sends the tape and the book to Eric in a distant state. Grandmother connects.
Millions of examples every day....millions of grandchildren and grandparents sharing a deep and wonderful bond. From my perspective, the pieces of gold in the Golden Years are the relationships with adult children and grandparenting.
