You are a good person. Very sweet to look after your son and his family.

Thanks, but "sweet" is an adjective not usually attached to me...lol. I'm known within the extended family as "mean old Uncle NHN."

I thought that as I grew older, I would become more mellow, patient, and forgiving. Nothing could be further from the truth...lol, except when it involves my 3 grandkids.

I know my interactions with my granddaughter will benefit both of us. She'll get used to my voice, and her mind will be stimulated, just hearing what I read to her. It will be therapeutic for me, knowing my problems pale in comparison to what she's going through.

Being known as "Opa" to my grandkids is a reward unto itself. The other two love coming to my house: "what happens at Opa's House, stays at Opa's House."
