I am sad to say I am a better Grandfather than I ever was a Father. I was not aware enough, I let time go by fast without truly appreciating what my children brought to my life.
Now that I am PawPaw....I do not let happen. I enjoy every minute that I have with my grand kids. I often take Elayna (who is soon to be 3) out for pancake breakfast on Saturdays. Well last time we were talking and playing at the table, she told me to hold still. So when I twitched she said, "don't move or I'll beat your ass". WHAT DO YOU SAY TO HER???
I calmly told her she can't talk like that, those were Mommy and Daddy words. I will tell you I wanted to bust out laughing....that was some funny stuff from a 3 year old.
I will take the time and memories I have with my grandkids to my grave.....they are great.
I feed them and change them when needed.....enjoy them Frank.
