Dad told me once I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man who didn't have any feet. (Dad did grow up stuffing yesterday's Atlanta Constitution into his shoes to cover the holes in the bottom).
Tonight, we met some old acquaintances. Actually, wives met several years (25+-) ago when she volunteered at the handicapped riding center as the people we met had a daughter there. The are upper 70s and there is no one to take care of their daughter after they pass. Wives kept up most of the contact as wife worked in a mom-and-pop drug store and got to meet several people, some big names but I digress. We talked some tonight and later my wife told me they had another daughter who grew up got married a man with two kids. She died of bone cancer. And the husband has not let them see the grand kids. There is some evil divisiveness in my family now which I hate and I let it eat at me, After tonight I have gone back and counted blessings and found many that took some digging. ,
 
My Dad's brother has had some tragedies in his life and his son had issues with my uncle seeing his grand kids. Seems to be a common problem in families such a shame.
 
I have a daughter that has declared me "toxic".
So I have not contact with my only 2 grand children and my great grand daughter although I did get see a picture of her.

I have the same, you have my prayers and sympathy. My sons first wife has a child already when he married her, he adopted her, when financial issues hit she was off. She had the daddy of her daughter locked up claiming child abuse. With on for the few visits after the divorce she would go over the kids How did you get that bruise, did daddy watch you when you got that bruise? etc. IMO trying to build a case for neglect, She got married again and is not getting or has been divorced but from what we hear trying to gain custody of the child the third husband brought into the marriage. Haven't seen them for almost 10 years.
