I am a grandma, my most favourite job in the world.  When you hold your grandchild for the first time, nothing compares.  I was blessed to be in the room when some of our grandchildren where born. Watching your child, give birth to a child, wow, the emotions are indescribable.

I feel part of a grandparent role is to be available to their grandchildren and share knowledge when asked, helping them grow into the best versions of themselves without judgment.
