Being a grandmother is a wonderful experience. A new experience, if you are lucky enough to have grandchildren. New experiences are in short supply by the time you reach the age of a grandmother.
The children only see you as “grandmother”. You are theirs. They don’t have to share you with anyone else. You are their GRAND mother as the name implies. And that is Grand, but many years have been spent absorbing life’s lessons that go into grand parenting. These are learned from your own grandparents, your parents, your friends, your children, your successes, as well as your missteps.
A vast amount of information and insight has been absorbed. The times may have changed but people are the same. Our government is still anchored by the Constitution
written by our forefathers. They had grandmothers who anchored them.
My grandchildren are learning things in school that weren’t available when I was in school. Sometimes my granddaughter teases that she may be getting smarter than me.
I laugh, and tell her she may get smarter, but she will never be wiser! She’s got a lot to learn.
