Out of our four daughters, two live locally. Four of our grandchildren are adults with jobs.
Getting all of us together at the same time is nearly impossible, and that will only get worse. So...
We had dinner last night with one daughter and her children at her favorite restaurant, and Saturday night we will have dinner with her sister. No restaurants on Mother’s Day.
It’s the best we will ever be able to do. I never pictured my grandchildren as adults with jobs, drivers licenses and choosing a college that is 1000 miles away.
Sunday night is dinner at grandmas....
EVERY Sunday, every week.
Whoever can make it makes it, whoever can’t, can’t.
Families that have this as their norm are the best and by the time Grandma passes away, the next generation usually has grandkids and the tradition continues with that side of the family and when the uncles and aunts and cousins etc can make it they show up to.
Lost by too many these days.
