You never know

Sometimes prayers get answered right away and sometimes it takes months, and maybe even years. It’s been almost 9 months since grandpa seen the middle grandchild and he finally got to see him to night, I can’t say I have seen him smile as big as he did tonight in a while, and very seldomly do I see him really smile.
When we where supposed to go down to see them, we were advised against it because of health concerns and emotional reason. It broke my heart saying no to the grand children but at some point you have to protect the parent from their children. I know the kids wouldn’t do anything to hurt him but the adults I don’t trust them any further then I can throw them.
Today we got a call and found out the one was here in town and wanting to see grandpa. We had to postpone until we got back tonight because they wanted to go swimming and well we wanted to be there. Sometimes I wish we had a mobile homes because it would make traveling long distances more easier for resting and doing other things.
I had asked a few people if they could keep us in prayers, to allow the middle one to come and stay with his brother for a little while. The summer was meant to be like that but sometimes family can get difficult to deal with.
It looks like some prayer has worked great because the nephew understands why grandpa wasn’t able to come down and doesn’t think it because of hubby and I.
