[Sca-cooks] Re: Sca-cooks digest, Vol 1 #3086 Grandchildren

[Marcus Loidolt]

Being a vowed monk for 15 years put a cork in my being
a biological father for some time, and I doubt that
will change in the future, but having been an foster
father and now grandfather, I can certainly know many
of the joys(and tears) of this most wonderful of
relations!!

I have been blessed with not only 6 foster children,
but now I have been blessed in a thousand fold by
their children, my grandchildren! While we share no
blood, for most of them I am the only grandfather they
will know. Most of their 'real' families dissolved
long ago.  I am blessed in that my own parents are
alive and well enough to see this and welcome these
new arrivals!! Though it was funny to see my mother
try to comprehend that her,then 35 year old,celibate,
son was introducing her to her GREAT granddaughter!!

I understand if it is not exactly the same, no love is
the same as another, but it certainly is as deep and
as real!!
