If I have a resolution [View all]

It'll be to remember that it isn't about me.

In the wink of an eye, my grandchildren are teens. I still see them, but the relationships have changed. They are in an intense time of their lives. They sometimes don't take time or have time to hang out with me and chat. So I'll make sure I remember that it's not about me.

I'm the only grandparent they have. They lost the other 3 before the oldest was 7. I'm representing all of their grandparents, and I not only want to leave the kids with good memories, but also with some ideas about how to be a grandparent.
