The Three Minute Grandparent: Team

A Grandparent is/was part of a team, a partner in marriage, a part of a together forever duet. I do realize that this is not always the case but in most cases, a grandparent is linked to another grandparent. We are people just like our children and yes we are older. Sometimes we may do things that seem odd to younger folks. We may be set in our ways and do a task that has always been done by us that way. As a current Grandparent, I can learn new things and do tasks differently, however, I have been doing my tasks a lot longer that you young folks have, so cut me some slack, give me time to adapt. I really do want to stay current, but give me some time. We love our children and want to continue growing as we watch them grow.  One area of change involves technology, a wonderful part of our lives.  Cell phones have changed how we do life, how we communicate with family and friends.  Our cell phones are more like computers…in fact; they are computers that make phone calls.  This Grandpa carries his cell phone everywhere and uses the calendar and planning functions to make his life much more organized.  Our computer at home has skype (picture and voice) which allows us to stay in touch with children, grandchildren and friends all over the world.  This Grandparent team will continue to learn and grow as long as God gives life and breath.
