I'm with Bill. Your parents love and miss their own.

But... in the eyes of any well-indoctrinated JDub they're totally convinced that their continuing adherence to the Watchtower is the only hope any of you have for surviving Armageddon. That's all the more reason they've GOT to say 'loyal' to the Organization.

How that must hurt.

Grandparent love for their grand babies fuels this country's aviation industry. Nothing I know of is a stronger inducement for the Cap'n and I to go through the hassle of flying than the desire to see one of ours participate in a swim meet; have a part in a school play, play catcher in soft ball tournament, or graduate anything. (Yes, we've paid hundreds; rearranged our schedules and spent hours of misery to be there for each of those none-too-momentous events--and it has never failed that we meet others traveling to see their grandies too.)

BTW, our favorite gift is a family photo--framed please.

Hugs, Granma Cee Cee
