I saw my grandsons and granddaughter Monday

Although it hurts knowing that my daughter-in-law took the kids across the country making it even more difficult for my son to see them, I am glad she decided to land within two hours of where I live. I don't currently have a lot of love for her, I swallowed my discomfort to see the kids. The youngest is very shy and ducked behind the doorway in his bedroom and quickly asked his mother who I was. She explained and after that it was smooth sailing. Mainly, we were watching an animated movie they already had on while I tried to take pictures. I managed to get a couple of Oliver's face, but in most, he is hiding. My granddaughter preferred to stay in her room most of the time. Oliver became my buddy. It's difficult for me to go up the stairs, so I was last to get in after returning from lunch. Oliver stood by and waited for me at the apartment building door, holding it open for me. Then when I sat on the steps just to take the pressure off my back, he came down and stayed with me until I got to the apartment door, which he opened for me. Sweet little guy. Anyway, it was an animated visit. The boys have no off switch. We didn't stay for fireworks because I needed to get home to put the trash out. But it was really good to see them and to see just how much they've grown in six years. I don't want another six years to go by.
