When my adult children asked me what I wanted to do for my 70th birthday, I told them I had to give it some thought. After simplifying this to a fun and meaningful birthday, I made a decision. I really just want to have my two children together for the weekend. Dinner out at a lovely place, spending th days together. Old times.
I loved being a part of my children's lives. Helping to guide them, mentoring them, loving them. But for about eight years, things have gotten busy. Jobs. And then the grands came along. It is hard to have much of a converation with them around. I do enjoy them dearly. But there are times I just want to spend with my children.
And so I shall. Plans are in the works. This touches a very special place in my heart. I am indeed lucky.
