One late August day, I received a call from my oldest daughter. Her voice sounded panicked. A voice I knew well as she was vulnerable to panic attacks as a teenager. “I know it's your only day off, but we need someone to watch the boys while we pack?” she said. “We have to move in a week and get the boys signed up for their new school.”

Yes, life had thrown my daughter and my grandsons a curve ball. My son-in-law got a new job and it started immediately. After spending the summer getting the boys ready for their new teachers in their old school the world was going to be turned upside down. One week to get the boys ready for a new town and a new school.
