If I have a resolution

[no_hypocrisy]

1. A noble and loving goal

My father's parents were deceased at least a decade before I was born. My cousins were small children when they passed, so they too were denied the experience of grandparents.

My mother's parents concentrated solely on her and each other when they visited us. It wasn't until my grandfather was widowed and 89 that I decided to claim a relationship with him. We actually became best friends. Took him out for pizza and beer. Snuck him into my law school graduation. Gave him a 90th b/d party. Everyone seemed to ignore him and they didn't know what they were missing.

Go for it Marthe!!!
