Between 22 July to 31 July we have four grandchildren's birthdays. What a joy they are in our lives. Their birthdays are times I reflect on how wonderful it is to be a grandparent. You know, our task as a parent doesn't really end when our children leave home and start a family of their own. It's then that life gives us a grander title~~~that of being a grandparent. Being a grandparent is one task that is filled with love, moments of laughter, and creating heartwarming memories.
"You are the child of my child,
And your life is a joy to me.
I am grateful to have you in my life.
As I watch through the generations,
I am reminded that the bonds we form
Are as everlasting as the spirit" Author Unknown
