Reaching out to grandchildren
I reached out to my grandchildren, explaining the misunderstanding in age-appropriate terms. Sitting them down, I spoke gently, “
Sometimes, adults get things wrong and misunderstand each other. That’s what happened between your mom and me.”
Their curious eyes looked up at me, and I saw a glimmer of understanding. “We’re working on fixing it.
I hope we can spend more time together again,” I added. Their tentative smiles gave me hope that they were willing to reconnect.
