For many of us, going to our grandparents' house as children was something to look forward to because we knew they'd spoil us as much as they could.
But some people rely a lot more on their grandparents than that because without them, they may not have a guardian at all. This can be due to a death in the family, but another unfortunate reality is that some parents simply aren't up to the challenge of family life or aren't healthy for their children to be around.
Just as unfortunately, it can be hard to explain to a child why that arrangement needs to exist the way it does. And as one grandma's story illustrates, that's especially true if that child is about to be excluded from a enviable family event.
