We're grandparents here for my two grandsons. Both of their other grandparents are in Guatemala and Puerto Rico.

Their biological grandfather passed in 2011, on my side.

I'm so fortunate to spend time with them now, when they're 2 and 8, in fact have the 8 year old today. I want to spend as much time as possible as I've already had a heart attack, and have daily bouts of tachycardia, so I live in the moment with them.

You're giving them such a Gift. The teenagers will come around. I was sent to take care of my great grandmother when I was 17, and was her caregiver the last year of her life. That was a Gift to me.
