Grandparents

I am thankful for Grandparents. My kids have the most amazing grandparents who love them and support them from so far away. They will call to encourage DB with homework, provide some much needed incentives for better grades, listen to stories that I am sick of hearing, send love notes in the mail (they check EVERY day to see if there is some mail for them) and come out to see them as much as they can to spoil them while they are here. (see previous "My Parents" post) I also have been so lucky to have the most amazing grandparents. I am grateful to come from an amazing line of strong, faithful, loving people. I am the oldest grandchild on my mother's side and I was blessed to know my Grandpa a bit more than some of my very young cousins and I am so grateful for that. I remember arguing with him about Robert Redford once. Such a funny memory. I am grateful to have so many wonderful memories of my grandparents, and to be able to continue making memories with my Grandma P. I am grateful for the capacity that grandparents are able to fill in a child's life. Grandparents get away with stuff that a parent never can, but that a child needs to witness for themselves. I am grateful for grandparents!
