The mornings that turn into evenings

My grandparents need a lot of help these days and for a little while I'll admit that when my mom would ask me to come over with her to help out, I'd be somewhat hesitant. It wasn't until the past few weeks when I realized how special it is to have this time alone with my loving grandparents. Growing up in a big family (my mom being one of nine, and me being one of 31 grandchildren) I was never really close with my grandparents, and I began to envy other people my age who were so close to theirs. However, it's the quiet Friday afternoons sitting around at the dining room table with my Granddad's favorite music playing and my Grandmom humming along that I've come to truly appreciate most. Having this time alone with them is something I will always cherish. Sometimes all we really need is a quiet day at Grandmom and Granddad's to remind us of our blessings :)
