Back when i was growing up my grandma raised me for 5 years she was never compensated nor did she ever ask to be! I'm 53 I dont have grandchildren my oldest daughter is 29 no kids, my youngest is 26 no kids and a have a 28 year old no kids. I'm on dialysis and have been for 16 years, life doesn't get longer for us on dialysis, the longer you are on it life will get shorter dialysis is harsh on the body and your other organs. I said all that to say that i wish i had grandkids its such a blessing and i hope i see some before i die and if i do i will never ask for compensation or take compensation. We get to stuck on money and dont try to see the bigger picture that its a blessing to have that time with your grandchildren but hey who am i im just sitting over thanking God for every moment and hoping for grandkids that i can babysit for FREE!
