My Christmas and New Year Wish.

As we all approach Christmas it is a time for reflection for many of us. As the song says 'What have you done today to make you feel proud?'

That can be quite an uncomfortable question,if I am honest, how many times do I do things for me,not actually for others? Mmm.

It has been a busy year, laughter,tears and support.

The Bristol Grandparents Support Group has continued to grow, I have mixed feelings about that because it shows how many grandchildren and grandparents are going through such sadness and at a loss to know what to do. The unexpected occurrence is that I have made some very strong and true friendships for which I am very grateful.

I have been able to be a part of several grandchildren being reunited with their grandparents, and that is the goal.

So as I move forward towards another New Year I hope to be able to support grandparents in anyway I can and to rejoice in families who reconnect.

Do I feel proud of what I have done today? Do I need to feel proud? I am not sure. What about you?
