Don't keep the Grandkids from the Grandparents Mood
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 | A Sad story

CryToday I recieved pictures of my grandmother from my cousin who is my grandmothers nephew who is in his seventies and I was so Happy to recieve them ..I was also very sad, I wanted to get to know them, I wanted to be a part of there family, I wanted to be raised next to them as a child but I never got the chance and I ended up very sad and crying because of this my Grandmother died years back and I only remember her once when I was five years old.. and the memory is not the greatest..I have so much sadness because no matter what! she was my family and so are her children and grandchildren, I also feel sad because my mom did the same thing as my Dad did, she kept us away from our grandparents and Aunts and Uncles and cousins..I did not get to know my grandparents on either side and I hurt so much inside its a hurt that no one can fix, I deserved to know them I never did anything wrong and so I feel it was wrong for them to keep us away from our family. I use to think my children do not need there grandparents or his family but they do..I know how it hurts them in the future because I am one of those children who grew up not knowing her grandparents.. Please do not keep your children from knowing there family. It hurts so much and I cry alot because I have so much to give them. I would help them with what ever they needed I would cut my grandmothers hair and fix her up so pretty and I would do what ever chore she needed me to do.and I would do the same for my other grandparents. I am very helpful and a very loving person. I wish I could help them or at least help someone else because I never had a chance to help my family. I am going to go help my mom this weekend "God willing". I know my Mom and Dad did what they had to do when we were little but it hurts!   I do not blame them! but I wish I could have been there for my grandparents.. So please do not keep your children away from there grandparents it not only hurts the grandparents it hurts the children.. I know!    I am hurting !!

I have two grandsons that I love with all my heart and I cannot see them  because there Mom is hiding them and that also hurts.. and I have a grandson who was given up for adoption and my son would not let me have him and that hurt so much. and now he is around 12 years old. I hope they look for us someday because  I would really like to see them and just Hug them and tell them how much I love them all. God Bless you everyone and May God take good care of you all in his most precious Hands..             

                                               Lots of Love, Cathy

    I'm with you. never knew my grandparens either and grew up wanting them like it seemed everyone else had them . I always thought they were all in Poland but found out when I was a teen that my fathers parents lived in Penn. and died there. I asked him why he did'nt tell me and he just said why should he get my hopes up because I'd never be able to meet them. I was very surprised and unhappy. We used to go visit in Ohio and visit relatives in Penn. But maybe they lived there when we were'nt gooing there anymore. I don't know. But I did miss out on any grandparents/
