Vicki:
Grandchildren are a blessing. My youngest grandchild, youngest of 5, saw me taking my ensure meal through my Peg tube recently. Her mother explained, "That's the way Poppa eats his meals". That did not satisfy her curiosity, she came to me and basically asked me why I had to eat that way. I didn't know what to say knowing at age 3 she knew nothing about cancer, radiation side effects, etc. So I just told her that Poppa was sick in his throat and could not swallow, which seemed to satisfy her. She now reminds her mother to call me daily so she can ask me about my throat.
