My grand daughter
Yesterday I went and watched my granddaughter compete in her first horse show of the year and she was just outstanding. But it was so hard being there because my son would have been so proud of her and what she did. I really have a hard time forgiving him when I see things like this and know he is not there to support his child and give her praise. She was very close to him and to have here loose her Dad in the way she did is just wrong. I miss him so much but I hope someday I can forgive him. We are going to be tending both his children over night today while their mother takes a break and goes out of town with some friends. They are both such wonderful kids and we love them very much.

It is a very, very good thing for you and your wife to be a loving, supportive force in your grandchildrens lives. They will know in the years to come how important it was that you were there for them. Forgiving is hard, I know. I have a lot of anger inside about what Robin did too, the pills, the cutting, the things she put all of us threw, especially her children. It does ease some with time, but I think that it will always be there. I miss her, I love her, but I hate, hate, hate the choices that she made. Those of us her love her have to live with them everyday. Love, Hugs and Peace, Kathie
So happy for you that your grandchildren are doing so well. My grandson doesn\'t seem to be fairing so well and I really am in a very awkward position to help him. And as you know, I too am angry that my daughter made the choices she did, whether it was a mental illness or not. But I do miss, try to forgive her and sometimes succeed, but then something else will revert me back to why/how could she have done what she did. I know this isn\'t really helping you, but I\'m just sharing. May you find peace and happiness in your relationship with your granchildren. Truly your friend, BarbaraWawa
I hope you will ask God to help you forgive your son....after all, we have a heavenly Father who forgives and He wants us to do as He does...give the grace that He so willingly gives to us. I have not been so much angry as I have been sad. I know you go back and forth....through all of the emotions......they come and go. I know we will not have all of the answers here.....one day we will but before then I hope you will forgive him. Your grandchildren are blessed to have you in their lives. ....Love and hugs, dale...brandon\'s mom
