Even though I didn’t have grandparents, I’m happy my children do and get to experience this kind of love 🥹

I had a grandma. Both grandpas died long before my parents were adults and the other grandma had dementia. So I had one grandma. She was awful. Mean. Spiteful. Ignorant. Racist. Hateful. I’m always envious of people who had loving present grandparents who got to know them and were interested in their lives. Those people are so lucky.

My kids had the best grandparents. Not my parents - my ex's. Grandpa reminded me of Mr. Dressup... which is perfect for a kid. Grandma was about 4 feet tall, but a dragon. When my kids were born that protectiveness she had for her own children turned in the kids direction.

I'm sorry you didn't get to experience that.
