I am back home after a wonderful time with our grandchildren in England. We enjoyed the beautiful but windy weather as we were able to see the sun every day. In Bergen we have had 84 days of continuous raining. However, the grandchildren are more beautiful than the sun, even after 84 days of rain.

Our three grandchildren in England all understand Norwegian but speaks English, naturally. We speak Norwegian and they normally answer in English, but sometimes they dare to speak Norwegian to our great joy. We were talking, playing and having a lot of fun. I am refreshed after being with my grandchildren, – and their most wonderful parents.

Being a grandfather

To be somebody
is to be a grandfather
of many special grandchildren
and love each one of them
in a very special way

Grandchildren make you really feel
that you are somebody
They are a crown of life
making your life radiant of joy
When you have many grandchildren
you realize that you are truly somebody
