Hello @nineclaws. Wisdom, caring, observant, strong, humorous, hard-working, and loving. All those things I felt while reading the story of your dad. You were extremely lucky to have him in your life.
I also didn't grow up with the luxury of having grandparents.
I absolutely love your story. It's witty, serious, and thoughtful. But most of all, it contains life lessons not just for you, but for anyone who cares to spot them. Coming from a parent, no matter whose it is, is an opportunity I wouldn't want to miss.
Thank you for sharing. Take care, and stay safe.
I was extremely lucky to have him in my life. I've counted that up beyond what I could say.
You've not had that experience either. Do you find you miss it also?
Thank you for all the lovely things you've said. 💜 I do wish to pass on anything I can to others, if it may be of assistance to them on their own paths.
Yes, I've always missed it. Growing up, mostly all my friends would talk about or visit their grandparents. They talked about how much they loved them, and wished they could stay with them instead of their parents. It created a yearning in me that still exists.
For that reason, my grandchildren won't miss out.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. You've given me an insight into your personality also shaped by those memories of your dad.
Take care.
Yes, it did the same with me. At one point, I thought, can I put an ad out asking for grandparents I can adopt.
This is beautiful! I have found that experiences like this can be very motivating to one's own growth.
Thank you, it's my pleasure.
