Re: Does it hurt as much to be a Grandparent?
Okay, you guys caught me in a late night weak moment. Actually, I'm glad I kinda opened up there. It's not something I'd chat up with "my mates." We're all much better today. It's amazing what a day in a good church can do for ya!
The thing with this is the emotional aspect. Annie had a stroke when she was only 10. I was a rock through every test, exam, blood-drawing, shots, more tests, etc. Annie was very strong too (my wife was an absolute wreck for the 3 months). After one blood drawing, where the nurse kept poking and proding searching for the vein, I asked Annie if it hurt. "Yeah daddy, alot!" I asked "why didn't you cry?" Her reply "cause I wanted to show you how tough I am!"
Made ME want to cry. I DID NOT want to be like my dad in that area. Got to explain that it's okay and expected that you cry sometimes! Okay, I'm blabbing again. She ended up fine, at that age the brain is able to rework itself around the dead spot she has in her brain.
I guess it's the same with the heart when we get hurt eh gang?
Brian
