family time...

 I do lots of texting with my grandchildren, all college age, but it's a rare treat to see them in person except for the holidays.  Today, however, was my lucky day.  I had lunch with my daughter's daughter before she heads back to college on Monday.  We ate Chinese at Wu's, yummy, and I got to see the cute little apartment that she shares with a friend when she is in Fort Wayne.  Then, this evening, my daughter's son, who does live here in FW, stopped by for a short visit.  He needed cheering up after helping people clean out an apartment here in my complex.  It's a sad situation and interestingly my granddaughter had told me about it earlier today.  A friend of my grandson's girlfriend, I think someone she worked with, died last week of an accidental overdose when he was home alone.  This evening my grandson was helping his parents clear out his apartment.  Such a hard, sad job.  I really can't imagine the grief, but loosing a child must be the worst kind of sorrow for any person, and then to have the child, regardless of age, die in such a senseless way, must compound the tragedy.  Hearing about this today did give me the chance to ask each of the grands if they were doing any kind of drugs and they reassured me, firmly, that they are not.  I believe them.  They have so much good and positive going on in their lives right now that I am happy to cheer them on.
