I didn't have the experiences you dream of like being read aloud to or being taught to knit. I had other, different things that were good and special. Due to the fact that my parents were 20 and 22 when I was born I had 2 grandmothers, 1 grandfather and 1 great-grandmother.<BR/><BR/>And at the time my children were born they had 2 great-grandmothers and 4 grandparents who were still married to each other. (There is something to be said for that as well.)<BR/><BR/>I am so sad to think of all the children who move all around due to their parent(s) job transfers who are uprooted from their grandparents.<BR/><BR/>I also wonder what this American society will end up being like if all the women wait until age 35, 40 or closer or over 50 to have their first child. If everyone did that very few children would even have a grandparent alive when they were born.<BR/><BR/>My grandparents being alive while I am an adult is even more special and important than in my childhood. I am blessed now at age 40 with one grandmother at 89 and another at 97!<BR/><BR/>I am glad I am not the only one who appreciates grandparents. I hope your mother can come visit again soon!!ChristineMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388497877158577422noreply@blogger.com
