A great combination! When grandparents get together with
grandchildren, the fun begins!
We watch them grow from tiny new born to their teens, when
they complete their high school and then see them off to the university. As
they grow older, we in turn grow even greyer and more stooped.
Our two pairs of grandchildren bring us much delight. We had
the privilege of having the older two grow up in our former home with its large
garden. In fact, they returned from the UK as a baby and a toddler and in their
teens, they left us to study in the neighboring island republic where the
education system is much better.

Delighted with her Barbie doll
Stephen has a present too
Children’s birthday parties were loud and happy in the big garden, both for my son during his childhood, and for my grandchildren.

Alas, the younger two grandchildren were born and live in the island republic where they do not have the luxury of a home garden to run and play in.
Isaac and his cakes
Our younger grandson is now at an age where he is full of curiosity and he loves having us visit him whenever we can, which is not often, as the airfares are prohibitive. He is very knowledgeable for his age (four years old) and he speaks very well in both English and Mandarin. We are very proud of him.

Chloe & her Thomas Sabo bracelet
We had a short family holiday in Hoi An, Vietnam last December. It was a wonderful holiday with the two older grandchildren and our two daughters and son-in-law.
With our elder daughter and her 2 children
Grandchildren make a great difference in our lives. It's so wonderful to see them grow into lovely young adults. It will not be long before the two older ones leave for their tertiary education abroad, taking their first steps towards independence and a new chapter in their lives. They go with our blessings and God willing, we will visit them.
