My grandchildren are not related to me by genetics.
However, my beloved's family also appears to be prone to deaths related to high blood pressure, not cancer.
I don't lecture my children about topics such as smoking or high blood pressure. I put in a little gentle steerage from time to time, but otherwise they are the responsible authorities, not me. My time is past.
Here's a small true story for you. We oldies don't have a Netflix subscription. But I twigged in a conversation that the kids do, so the question arose, could I borrow it to watch the Madeleine series? The answer was yes, so far, so good.
The next part of the conversation was about the '14 bottles of wine' allegation. I felt obliged to do a little steerage, to explain that the 14 bottles were not just for the T9, but for all those entitled parties in the Tapas on that occasion. Oh!
Our kids did not watch the Netflix series. Having worked in Luz, they are sick to the back teeth of the MBM story.
Been there and done all of this. Hopefully without anger, although some of it was too long ago to remember. I suspect that I might have been a bit cross now and again. 14 Bottles if wine. What a colossal fib that was.
My youngest son thinks that I am cracked. Not because I believe The Mccanns, but because I have the patience, although God knows what he thinks I should be doing. At my age there isn't too much going on that anyone could find riveting.
Sceptic Beliefs? Perhaps it is the same for Sceptics. Most of us are over the hill. No where to go other than to hope.
