Kaylie, Sydnie and I went to breakfast this morning. I really enjoy their company. I took the girls and we bought their mother a blouse for her birthday. They really didn't do anything for her and I feel they need to do more for her. I am sad that their father never takes the kids to do anything for their mother. I worry that they aren't learning that it is important to put others first. I worry about my grandchildren and their attitudes. I worry that they aren't putting Heavenly Father first in their lives and what that can mean to their futures. Some of the grandchildren aren't being encouraged to attend their church meetings. I know that when you don't attend your church meetings the world becomes more important than the church. With the way the world is today I worry that we will all fall short and not be ready for when Jesus comes again. I don't know what to do as a grandparent. I encourage them but, I feel like they don't want to hear what I have to say. I guess all I can do is keep trying. I know that Janet feels like we forced her where the church is concerned and that makes me sad. I hope that one day she will realize that we only wanted what was best for her. We have always loved her and her brothers with all of our hearts.
