Very sorry to hear that. As someone who was pretty much raised by my grandparents it does bother me that the so many laws don't see grandparents as immediate family. My mother gave birth to me, but my grandmother was my "mom." I loved her and my papa with all my heart. I lived with them far longer than I did with my biological parents. For little ones it can be hard to get perspective. To them all of that chaos is just what they think is "normal." As much as I loved and respected my grandparents it wasn't until I became a parent that it really dawned on me just how much of the real caregivers they were and just how absent my real parents were.
Just keep giving them your love. That's all any of us can do. I remember a saying that always stuck with me "We are who we are because someone in our lives loved us." On the surface that seemed false to me. But then I realized the statement wasn't false, just my understanding of what love is and who REALLY loved me(and who really didn't) was the issue.
I wish the best for you and yours and jethrobolas.
