As if the last two days weren’t enough away from my children, I had to go in to work today, on a Saturday, for Grandparents’ Day. The only thing that kept me from really resenting the imposition on my personal time was the happy faces of the children and grandparents. The children seemed to have a marvelous time showing their grandparents around their classrooms, playing games with them, and having refreshments. The grandparents seemed appreciative, too, for the most part, some of them a little more able to get around and take part in the festivities than others. Some of the grandparents looked shockingly young. Dare I say it? Some almost looked my age! I may be one of the older workers at Pemberton, but I am NOT old enough to be a grandparent. Not yet, anyway.
