Grandparents: Purpose

This is to those among us raising their adoptive grandkids and caring, in-house, for an elderly parent. Add a teenager into the mix and you get the equivalent of hitting the lottery, in reverse.This tale begins on March 9, 2009. In reality, it begins long before that date. Toss in two grandparents attempting to referee an assortment of generational gaps. Add four children under the age of 18 and a woman pushing 80, and what do you get? We haven't a clue... because the jury is still out.
