[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 584372, member: 1721"] I remember my Grandma too, RM. I always tell everyone what a difference she made for me...but I forgot that, or didn't think I had the power to matter, for my own grandchildren. But that's not true, is it. I cannot make their parents different, I can't really do too much about their financial situations, but I certainly can love them, and validate their perceptions. What was that you said, RM? Worth, and strength and courage. That's so important. And even if they are far away and I don't see them so often anymore, I can send things in the mail. And whenever they receive them, they will know that whatever else is happening, we see them, and know them, and love them. Those seem like such little things, from my perspective now. But you are right, RM. My grandmother made all the difference for me, too. And I hardly ever saw her. Thank you, RM. That's just what I needed to hear, today. Barbara [/QUOTE]
