I have four daughters, and a granddaughter and a grandson living here..and others within two hours.BUT... I had to find a friend to take me to pick up my car from the shop. I never hear from my granddaughter now...back "When" I had a job, a bigger house, and I guess, spent more money, they were always around. After my back surgeries...I can't keep babies too well so I don't get called..I am not bitter or sad about it...I keep busy, but I gave my family every spare minute and all my sacrifices was for them, and now a days things are different...they do not have a minute to spare. The younger generation, does not make too many personal sacrifices it seems to me.But I pray they will all be happy and turn out to be good citizens, and know how to take care of themselves.  Stella ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SOUTHERN-CHAT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
