Rita,
wow! that is amazing of you to take on responsibility of such young children. im sure it is very hard but your right thank God you have them to keep you busy. My 13 year old son was called home sept 5 2009 in a car accident i have a 4 year old daughter and all though it is hard to deal w her sometimes because of the grief i am going thru i thank god i have her other wise i would have probably killed myslef had something happened to my baby boy. I go to a counselor not for grief but with help on raising my daughter and ways to deal with situations w her because while i am grieving it is hard to do the right thing, especially discipline, i just lost a child and cling to my daughter and baby her. But now she is smart enough to know what she can get away with me. I sometimes only do whats necessary to live, bath, teeth, vitamins, food, cuddle anything else i let go cause i dont have the energy to parent. so i know it must very hard for you, they are so young. hang in there and you are an amaing person, beleive it or not, not all grandparents would take their grandchildren to raise. they are very lucky to have you and your daughter is very lucky to have such a wonderful loving mother. Best wishes
