We have so many sad stories on this forum I thought I'd share a story that made me smile this morning. I was waiting for my appointment at my hair salon and was sitting next to a very trendy, hipster young man who was looking at his phone. This is a high end salon that has a very mixed clientele - older ladies from the neighborhood (me), young, trendy, professional women and young, hipster men. I figured he was also waiting on his appointment. There was an older woman sitting at the salon station in front of us getting her hair blown out and chatting with the stylist. When she was done the young man stood up. I assumed he was the next client for that stylist. Suddenly the older woman cried out "Where is he? Where is he?" and as she tries to stand I realize that she is quite crippled and is very confused. Her stylist calmly says "Your grandson is right here. He always waits for you. Don't be worried," He says "Grandma I'm right here. I'm right here. and your hair looks beautiful." He tips the stylist and goes to pay and make next month's appointment. Everyone says "See you next month." I wish we could all have this grandson or someone like him in our lives.

Thankyou for that lovely story!

I still smile when I think of the 'help' my Gran got one family gathering. Gran was over 90, coming out the backdoor down the outside ramp using her walker. Two small angels flocked to her sides, very young (3? 4?) yo girls in white frilly dresses. "We'll help you Great Gran!" they cried!

The look of concentration on thier faces as they both attempted to steer/push the wheeler from each side & Great Gran's look changing from delight to terror as she was 'helped' down the concrete ramp. The mother of the angels came rushing to save the day - before the fall that was imminent.

Gran made it to a chair, plonked down & said she admired their helping spirits but angels could help her walk in heaven, & those two need to keep out of her way!

I miss my Gran.

That young man was raised right! Kudos to his mother that put the extra time into that boy. If mothers would just realize they must take time to raise a boy properly. Moms: put your phones down and pay attention to your children. They need you. And good for that young man that listened to his mother! That young man will make a loving, caring, attentive husband and ALL women need that.

I do too. I have 2 if I asked would take me but I would have to ask them. I have one grandson who wouldn’t help me into the boat when I started crying because my ribs were broken.

Thank you for sharing a lovely story! Made my day. 😇
I have 2 grandaughters & one grandson. As a child I always told him he was my favorite grandson. He was about 6 yrs. old when he figured it out
& said " Nana, I'm your only grandson!" 😹 He's 28 yrs. old now and I call him #1. I believe if I ever need him to take me anywhere, he will. ☺️

God bless..

I got a very touching text this Mothers Day from a friend of mine. (I have no children)

It read "To a friend who is a wonderful daughter and now a Mom to her Mom."

Please pass it on to your friends in the same boat........I was moved to tears....

🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏻 Thanks for sharing.

I saw a delightful situation the other morning. A man in his 50s or 60s is helping an older gentleman into the construction truck. As he was doing this, he was talking very gently And in short simple sentences. He told Him that he was going to be the foreman today. And all the staff are going to take his direction. that he tells his grandson all about his day afterwards and that his grandson is very proud of him.
It was so heart warming ❤️

Great idea!
Btw. I’m child free and remote caregiver for my mother who still lives independently across the bay from me. We had a rocky relationship ever since I can remember and now as a caregiver, isn’t always easy to maintain a neutral position, still things manage to work out.

Today I’ll be visiting her and she is taking me out to the local burrito place for Mother’s Day. Yes, I called it and she laughed.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone, today and everyday. Treat yourself well for all you do!

there is an old saying..you determine if it is true or not...
The reason Grand parents and grand children get along so well is...they have a "common enemy" ;)
