My Daughter text me today telling me that my Grandson received all A’s on his report card. She always tells me that am his third parent and that he learned his kindness and a lot of his learning abilities from my Husband and I. I remember when my Husband and I parented my Grandson till he was 3 1/2. When my ex son in law and Daughter were in recovery we would take him to spend time with them. He would cry when we left him. It was hard and my Husband and I would cry all the way home. Eventually, it became easier for all of us. Even though it was tough, I knew it was the right thing to do. Through the years we were there to pick up the pieces when they slipped in their recovery. Now they are both in a good place and are living healthy lifes. They are fantastic parents. I am so lucky, I have never loved someone as much as my precious Grandson. I have loved him as a son and as my only Grandchild. I guess the reason why I have posted this is because there is always hope for any addiction. I’ve seen the terrible, ugly side of it and the beautiful side of it. Just posting this has made me cry happy tears of gratitude.
