Sometimes I just sit and think about how blessed I am. It is okay to vent and moan and I do when things go wrong but I also need to count my blessings. A lot of people my age do not have grandchildren. Due to a lot of different circumstances. Some have grandchildren and never see them. I have been lucky so far, I do see my seven grandchildren on a regular basis but I do know that circumstances can change.

At one stage my Mum and Dad had two daughters and seven grandchildren they hardly saw as I lived 10 hours by car away and my sister lived in Tasmania so my parents had to fly down there. It could happen to me anytime. There are plans in the pipeline for both of my sons to move away next year, that will make me sad I know. But for now I just wanted to say: "Thank you for giving me my lovely grandchildren."
