[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764891, member: 18958"] This is beyond horrible. There is one thing I know. I survived as a child only because of my grandmother, and to a lesser extent my grandfather. They were the pillars of good in my life. My parents were inadequate, self-serving, selfish, shallow, mean, entitled, and morally bankrupt. It took me 10 years to get over my mother's death, not because I missed her, but because I had to face the hole in my heart that a mother should have filled, but did not. This was a blessing because only G-d can heal hearts with holes, this I know now. And then when I became an adult I was able to do for myself. Had my grandmother not loved me as she did, I would be a sad, lonely, forgotten person. And I am none of those things now. I have had a worthwhile life. And I am nothing like my parents. But I am a whole lot like my grandmother. And I was a lot like your grandchildren. Having just one person to love you is enough. One person. You and your husband have always been there for your grandchildren. The children know this. Knowing you are there and how much you love them, is enough. But the thing is, they had their father too. No matter where Jarod was, I can't help but believe the children were able to hold onto his love and they hold onto him now. [/QUOTE]
