[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 304484, member: 1514"] I find myself missing those little boy days too. I never found myself fully enjoying them when I was in the midst of raising the little hellions. I was too young and they were so hard and times were very tough for us. Now, Tony and I drive around and see places we lived or look at places the boys played ball and we can almost see shadows of our former lives. Ghosts of times gone by. Just last weekend, we went to the beach with Keyana and saw 4 places we had lived and played. We kept saying how hard it had been, how we had eaten fish he had caught for days on end but also how happy we had been. How little the boys had been. Remember when? I feel like I am getting somewhat of a "do over" with the grandkids. I can take things more slowly and really enjoy their childhoods. I take them places and play in the sand, swim in the ocean, watch them climb and swing. I take more pictures. I laugh more. I watch the football games with her or the "race cars grandma...race cars!" I buy her the expensive juice because she isnt with me all week. The other day Cory said he wished he could have a do over and go back and start his life over back at around 10. He missed being a kid. He wished he could have done things right. He missed being his daddy's little boy. LOL. [/QUOTE]
