I JUST DON’T KNOW-ok

Embrace the children and enjoy them! Maybe not every time you send something to your grandson, but when you see something that makes you think of them. They could so benefit from your caring.

Love the children and don’t worry about what tomorrow might bring. The children will always remember that you treated them equally and showed them love. I think you have done a wonderful thing embracing them as you have. Big Hugs

You’re very kind to the children, and that is wonderful of you. I don’t think you need to give to them quite as much or as often as you give to your grandson, though. Unless you really can afford to, that is. I say, if you don’t suffer any for doing so, and enjoy it, then why not? But I have found out that getting too close to kids who aren’t “natural” grandchildren can sometimes lead to….nowhere! It’s like when Carrie divorced her first husband. For five years I’d given those two boys LOTS and tried to be a good grandparent to them. Suddenly, WHOOSH, they are simply not in my life anymore. I don’t mind that I gave lots to them. That’s not it. But now with her second marriage, I hope it LASTS so that this young boy, Carrie’s stepson Jake, whom I think of as my grandson now, can remain my grandson! At least we are both aware that this can and does sometimes happen. It’s too bad that it does, though. hugs, Weesprite

I wouldn’t yet but maybe something simple like a few postcards to include them in your thoughts, just incase they do end up getting married down the road. I used to send postcards to my kids when they were gone. I’d buy something pretty or interesting to them & then I’d write a few lines in colored pens to add some brightness to them from me. Just a thought.
