[quote=Anonymous]We have a grandfather like this. He's estranged from his son, my husband, over some petty matter that is really not my husband's fault. As a result, any tenuous ties he has to our children were severed. Our older daughter is five, and she knows she has a grandfather whom she doesn't know. She hasn't really asked about him, but once, when she did, I just told her: "Your grandpa is not ready to love and be loved by us. It is not our fault. He is just not able to do the things we know loving family and friends do, like feel happiness and joy when we meet, miss each other when we're away, and give hugs and kisses. Maybe he'll change and one day he'll want to be that kind of person, but maybe not. Anyway, it's okay--you papa, your mama, and you we love each other soooo much, and we're a team no matter what."[/quote]
