The Three ‘H’s

GRAND DADS

June 3, 2003

My wife and I are experiencing (as grandparents) a unique déjà vu.

Twenty-four years ago, we experienced with watching concern and anxiousness our daughter’s and now son-in-law’s dating and relating.

We are again going through similar ‘pain’ as our number two grand-daughter is living with us, as she undertakes tertiary studies. You’ve guessed it, she and her latest ‘beau’ have announced that they are officially an ‘item’, i.e. a couple.

It’s strange when you wake at around 11 o’clock and your blonde boarder has not yet come home.

Do you think we can get back to sleep again?
Oh Me! Oh My!

We really could do without this anxiety all over again!!!

Anyway, we have managed to get them to agree to watching their ‘Aitches’, and which of the three is in charge:
Head,
Heart or
Hormones ????

    Speaking as a grandfather of twelve grandchildren, I am grateful for having been a father, and now a grandfather. It’s a constant challenge, doing the right thing all the time. I wonder if the grandkids know that saying, ‘Like father, like son’? I’m gradually learning! And how about this one: Q. What’s grander than a dad? A.

    Sometimes I find myself wondering what it would be like if he were here now. I’d like to make a place for him at our table for Christmas lunch, like I do for Mum and other family and friends. I’d like to serve him and make up the spare room in our home. I’d like him to see what I’ve become. I was a skinny, pimply, constantly awkward teenager when he ...
