Somehow we think we have all the time in the world. We don’t. Even if we live into our nineties we can miss opportunities to be with family and make connections.

I had always thought I would have grandchildren someday. I work very hard to not interfere with my children’s personal lives. I did not inquire as to when I was going to be a grandma, I waited to be told that they were pregnant. I didn’t want anyone pestering me when my husband and I made those kinds of decisions so I want to repay the kindness to my children.

I always said I was too young to be a grandma, I wasn’t ready to be a grandma. Well, guess what? It isn’t up to me.

Now, I have two beautiful granddaughters five and two. I will be thankful if this is all I get, but I have another son married and will wait until we hear from them. The middle son doesn’t have a wife yet so we have to wait.

I am a visual learner and that applies to my life in general. My parents lived within 25 minutes from my home when my boys were little and they were the best grandparents ever.
