This week was one where decisions had to be made – would I participate in a conference which is hugely important to me with long standing friends and colleagues, which is a plane ride of 6 hours and thus at least a 10 hour trip with airports, traffic and the rest – from my home town – and possibly miss the birth of our newest grandchildren? Some years ago – I would probably have taken the chance since the babies are not due for another three weeks – but today my grandchildren are the center of my life – and I didn’t have a doubt in my mind – this was a risk too large to take. Speaking to all grandparents out there – I think you know what I mean?
