Gator and I are about to the place we wanted to be when we got married and had our children so young. With it just being the two of us again. Well, we didn't foresee being part of a quad.

Our oldest is remarried and living two and a half states away. Our youngest has moved an hour away and lives with his girlfriend. The house is quiet and I like it.

Don't be mistaken in thinking we don't have much contact with our boys. We do. They still call when they are struggling with something. The youngest is going through a very difficult time with his girlfriend and calls his mom to talk about this. Why would he think I could help? I do listen to him and when asked over up advice. Whether I feel he is being unreasonable or I can see his point of view.

This weekend we (read mostly me) have our grandson for the weekend since his dad couldn't make it here. He isn't quite two and we thoroughly enjoy our time with him. Our son and the grandson's mother are still not on good terms. Long story and Gator and I just pray we will not lose another grandson to the whims of his mom.

All and all, Gator and I think we are going to enjoy the next phase of our life together.
