Nice to return to 68 degrees after a blizzard and below 40 temps. Happy New Year
January 5
This year my granddaughters became latch key children. Their mother joins their dad in the work force to make ends meet. A grandson is in day care.
The worry side of me goes wild thinking of what could happen during those few hours after school. Movies like "Home Alone" just add fuel to the what ifs? Their parents say, “The girls are eleven and twelve and they know what to do.”
Then I hear, “Remember when you were ten?” The world was at war and your Mom went to do peace work. After school you returned to an empty house."
I WAS A LATCHKEY CHILD.
"Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
