My three grandchildren go back to school this week, and I’m already suffering withdrawal symptoms. They stay with me during the summer, and since I retired in April 2016, we’ve spent the last two summers together.
Sure, there are days I’m eager for my daughter to get home from work so that I can have some “me” time, but, for the most part, I seriously enjoy their company.
My grandchildren (except for my 7-month-old granddaughter in San Diego) live next door, and I see them most every day.
Last week, the kids, Tilleigh, 10, Evie, 7, and William, 4, and I spent an entire day shopping for back-to-school clothes, going out to lunch and to a movie. At the end of the day, I realized they’re downright fun.
Each child has a sense of humor (a family trait), and they’re constantly making me laugh.
