You have a special relationship that obviously brings you a lot of joy 😊 and great memories.

You're right - it could have gone the road of never seeing your granddaughter. Kudos to your nondaughter-in-law Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

There are people who screw up and people with their heads screwed on straight. Each person gets to work on becoming one or the other. Glad your grandchild is with a family that is working on being successful.

That's such a happy story, it's always nice to hear when people do the right thing by family, blood or other!

So great to hear of good things happening to people who ended up in a tough situation...especially when it's because they worked hard and made it happen. I'm so glad your granddaughter's mom keeps you in the loop... "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

That's a great story. It just goes to show that wild children can make the grade.

Lovely wee tale McH, sometimes you make your own luck, you've obviously nurtured your relationships well. I suspect that's more by virtue of your lovely nature than by design......

Yeah, at that tender age of sixteen with a life to raise... could have been a lot worse. Thoughts from the Garden...

I've never heard of Sox Appeal! Now I have to see if they have an online store. Wifey is into weird and cute socks. As for the kids and the kids of kids ... yeah. Reminds me a lot of mine. Step Daughter and her daughter are likely going to move in with us this summer. (So I had best get the electrical and plumbing for the guest rooms fixed as soon as the weather turns.) She's failed her tests for the registered nurse program, so has been depressed and listless. But honestly, I think it's for the best as her lack of chemistry skills scare me. (She still doesn't even understand the basic concept that the metric system applies one and only one scale qualifier.) Wifey has just about talked her into going for an LPN at a community college instead, which is still a step over her current CNA license. It's a shame she still wants to commute to a distant college though instead of one actually nearby. But it will keep her more patient-oriented, which I think she needs as she's more of a caregiver and people-person than she is medically talented. She has a lot to offer, but only if she keeps to her strengths. Plus it will hopefully get her working and earning instead of just living off of grants and the kindness of her family. At some point she'll have to grow up and stand on her own two feet. Her real dad is senile and a danger. So it's a good thing her real mom and I moved back to save her from the rigors of reality. But clearly even in her early 30s she's not emotionally ready to face the world yet. At least she's been improving a lot more after her daughter was born. And now that Wifey is back "home" (at least in the general vicinity being only a half-hour away, instead of an ocean away) they've been having a lot of good talks that are helping her grow up. As for Step Son and his son, our newest little 'un, I'm still worried. He remains a whiney man-child looking to blame everyone but himself. We can see he loves his son, but I dread the day that we might have to call protective services to remove his son from a dangerous home should he revert back to substance abuse in earnest. So far his relapses have been short and non-threatening. I know it's a struggle. But the moment he becomes an actual danger again. It worries us. But at least his girlfriend seems to have an increasingly good relationship with Wifey and I the more time she spends with us. She's starting to grasp the reality of us instead of whatever lies he must be telling her. So, hopefully, before a worst-case scenario hits the fan, she'll reach out to us for help. Not sure how much we can do, but at least we'll have a place for them to live and be there for emotional support if nothing else. Here's hoping to kids growing up! Sometimes I think being a grandparent is harder than being a parent. Congrats on being able to enjoy your granddaughter! Even an herb as sweet as basil is nothing without its bite. Lord Basil

How nice to read a story like this - it warms the heart. As a contrast, I look at my sister who was married at age 16, and had her 1st child several months later. 47 years later, she has NO confidence in herself, and looks to her husband for everything, because she was just a kid when she married. And yet - she managed a household and a new baby, when he was a starving college student. It's very sad because she never discovered who SHE was, before she was a wife and mother, and at 64, she still hasn't. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.
