Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll give you hope
I'll help you carry on
We all need somebody to lean on.
from the song
Nothing
is more true than this song when it comes to grandparents raising grandchildren.
Together we can ease the pain, share the good times and help one another
to grow and be the best we can be for our grandchildren, our families and
ourselves. To be with others who know exactly what we are going through
is so healing. Some have been there and done that and can help us
past the rough spots and can give us hope that we too can not only survive
this new adventure of raising grandchildren but flourish and bring forth
a new generation of responsible human beings. What better goal could a
person have.

Grandparents United - ALABAMA
The goal for Grandparents United is
to provide people who face common problems with the opportunity to meet
others who share similar experiences, knowledge, strengths and hopes. I
am in the process of finding a place to hold meetings... and will give
you information on this once it's arranged. I am in Mobile, AL. Any information
anyone could send me would be greatly appreciated. I received the packet
from AARP and it had some useful information in it. Now comes the arduous
task of locating a place to hold the meetings. pkearns@bellsouth.net
