I apologize to all grandparents!

Dear Grandparent friends,

I am so very sorry! Prior to March 10 I would listen (politely)to you talk about your grandkids with a moderate level of interest - and then go about my way. No more - now that I have joined the ranks blessed to be a grandparent i pledge i will listen to your every word. I will stand patiently and look at every photo of dance recitals and soccer games and first birthdays. I get it - really! Our grandkids are not just that tug in our heart they are also our hope for the future.

For them we must do all we can NOW - to make this world a better place. Shame on us for making such a mess - from the air and water, to the economy, to prejudice and ignorance.Lets get our act together - for Audrey, and Allison, and Matt and Noah etc, etc.
