Re: Does it hurt as much to be a Grandparent?
I'm a grandmother by marriage. My own are too young to have their own children yet. When I married Busman his granddaughter asked me if that made me her great grandma!!
I know what it's like feeling the pain your kids feel. I hate it when anyone hurts either of mine, emotionally or physically. Just wish I could take the hurt away from them. I remember when Mimi was tiny and she had to have a blood sample taken. She was too young to understand why someone was hurting her and afterwards I cuddled her and told her it was all over. But it wasn't. They hadn't got enough blood and needed to take some more. I felt terrible that she had to go through the whole thing again.
Mind you she is a toughie too. What she went through with her accident I can't begin to imagine the pain she was in then.
