Things I notice my family doing differently since I
started this study: |
- I rented a car when we visited my son and daughter-in-law in March.
The best of that choice was having one-on-one time driving each of the
older children to school. They go to the same school and there is more
to tell.
- More phone calls to my son and his family.
- More letters to my son and his family.
- I used my technical skills and associations to purchase (and resell
with the proceeds gifted to our son) tickets to the WCHA final four in
Denver
- Changed how I ask for gift ideas on holidays and birthdays.
- I I handled the income tax payments differently.
|
- My son and daughter-in-law turn on the speakerphone and have taught
the older two grandchildren how to do that as well.
- Joy, the oldest grandchild (soon to be nine) will answer the phone
when she hears me start to leave a message.
- My son sent me gift ideas for the oldest grandson before I asked for
some.
