To Enjoy Being a Grandparent

I recently had the opportunity to speak with the child (He's 31) of friends of mine. He said that his parents weren't really "into" being grandparents. They have, after all, been grandparents for nearly 15 years and it's old hat.

I'm very saddened by this as they are missing out. What fun it was last night to share the excitement in our granddaughter's recounting of her grand adventure! Given that she's not quite 4, there were parts I didn't get. But, her pure excitement and joy came though and it was so much fun to share.

In essence, I was raised without grandparents and my husband had only one. I always felt that something was missing and I find it hard to believe that a person could be so blase as to not take full advantage of this wonderous opportunity. Not me, though. I love being a Grandma.
