The other grand dad lives on the East Coast has a new wife, #3, who is younger than his daughter, the mother of our grand children. He could care less about these wonderful grand kids, and that is his problem.
It seems like young kids, toddlers and babies recognize the friendly grandparents even if they aren't their grand parents. My wife and I seem to attract these little ones like magnets attracting pieces of metal. Sometimes we may resemble their Grandparents and often they really don't see their grandparents and just sense something with us! My wife calls it the Grandparent pherome.
Our children and Grand Children are one of the main reasons we need a strong Free Republic. Our donations to Free Republic are like a buying a good insurance policy for our children's re their freedom and their future!
AMEN to that ..
you sound like you have like you have such a wonderful family
Mom always says .. Family is the most important thing in our lives .. well ok .. God is and then family
FreeRepublic is like a family .. I have never in my life met so a wonderful group of people ... Freepers not only have great minds .. they have great hearts
I couldn't call it any better. My daughter talks about her grandparents all the time - she has never met them because my parents won't acknowledge her. I am so thankful to the two men that do care about her - her godfather's father and my former business partner.

I disagree with you - our children and grandchildren are THE ONLY reason we need a strong Free Republic.
