NANA SAYS CHILDREN BRING MEANING

Parents love their children. But grandparents love them more. Just having the little ones in the family circle brings new life to all. Gatherings ebb and flow with new members. Establishing a relationship when they are little keeps the bonds alive as they age too. I saw a funny wedding picture. The 87 year old grandmother was also a bridesmaid. The bride really wanted her in the wedding party! How sweet! Some grandparents would be sitting at home! Loved it. Not that I would want to be a bridesmaid again but the thought to be there for a grandchild's important event of any kind. Even the grandchildren's kindergarten graduation was a fun event. Just having people of various ages together allows for new technologies, sharing family stories and learning together. Even the questions- where did the blue eyes come from? Well, Nana of course! Her side of the family! It can be work being a grandparent but is it worth the effort? You bet!
