We don’t always get the relationships we wish we had with parents or siblings. If you can’t create those relationships due to issues that can’t be resolved, personalities, morality, mental and emotional issues/abuse you end up feeling like you’re missing a connection or deeper connection. You probably are. There are ways to make those connections with others or be that connection for someone else. Foster those connections between your children and with your children. And you can always be to yourself what you needed as a child. Nurture the child within.

Buy plenty of toys and the grandchildren will be delighted to come over. In fact, poppa had to call one last night to arrange a play date. Yeah, that is what I am talking about. 🙂
