My wife and I left the house at 6.00 am this morning to go to KL, my son's house about 35 km from our house.  It''s still quite dark and we have to go through the city of KL and hopefully there is no traffic jam as yet. We arrived at my son's house around 6.55 a.m and what a relief.  We came over at the request of my son who needs his mothers help in looking after his 5 year old son while he and his wife will be at work.
All this while, his wife's sister was doing the caring of the child but now she has gone back to her hometown to get married. So we are called upon to help out. Yes, grandparents can be handy at times. We don't mind as we have the time and the energy.  It''s great to be useful.  And we can only be useful if we are healthy.
