We take great pride in being part of the younger generation, they each treat us with respect and love. My 26 year old eldest grandson came all the way from Leeds, quite a way from myself, to help me when my husband was in hospital.
I just feel so sad that there is so much ageism in the house this time, I genuinely feel sorry for their attitudes and I respect and love Gary for his wealth of knowledge, his understanding of the younger ones and his ability not to "bitch" and to moan about his treatment, he accepts it all as the learning curb which will give him a greater understanding of each of them. No matter what age we are, we learn........your Bampy wont be far from you.   Ya know, I love elephants, they supposedly never forget and our departed ones are never forgotten. |
I hope your husband beats the cancer. It sounds like your grandchildren would treat Gary 1000 times better than some of those bilious HMs.
