Spending Time With Those Who Matter

My grandson Malachi

When my grandson was born almost 5 years ago, I promised myself that I would be actively involved in his life because I would never get the time back. For the last few years we’ve had him before and after school for 4 days a week. Sometimes I am not going to lie, there’s a beauty in that and there is I am tired! I am not 20 anymore and he has enough energy for several kids.

It’s summer now and this next year we won’t have him several days a week. Now I need to build into my schedule what had previously existed without thought. Last night I missed him and I like putting him to bed. It’s been our thing. I went to his house and we played but we finished the night watching dinosaurs, snuggling, and reading a book. He hands down is my favorite.
