During last week, our home enjoyed the companionship of our adult children and their spouses and our grandson. It was particularly special to know that each of the young women in our home was pregnant! Our only grandchild will soon become the senior grandchild of four! It was special beyond words.
We know vicariously the great experiences of others who are grandparents. We now have this experience in common.
However, my special joy is observing our adult children experiencing their lives with vitality. Observing their relationships with their spouses and, thus far, the new role of one who has become a parent has made me feel that our roles as parents were “successful”. We always were consciously aware that we were their stewards until they could develop into adults. Our job was to prepare them for whatever opportunities they wanted to seize. To see them as people who you admire for who they are and how they relate with others is awesome.
