Grandparents and grandchildren share a bond that can't be denied. Sometimes it seems that parents take this bond as a threat but it doesn't have to be. What grandparents share with their grandchildren is something that they don't share with anyone else not even their own children. I don't know if it is our age at this point or maybe we've just chilled out at this point in life. For me I have and I have come to realize that it's the things that seem the smallest at the time that we may remember the most.
My own children bring up stuff and say mom do you remember when,and I honestly don't remember (Have no idea what they are talking about) but they do. What sticks in one persons mind may not have the same impact in another persons mind. I have heard people say (That know more than I do) That you really start to form memories that stay with you at the age of 4 and I believe that to be true because when I tried to think back I could remember some things when I was 4. The things that I do remember were events that I associated with other things happening in my life therefore the only reason I could put a time frame on it. My mothers dad died when I was 4 and I remember that so well because I don't think I had ever seen my mother cry before.
