My new role as a grandmother
Becoming a grandmother has been one of the most important and beautiful things in my life. I can’t tell you how much I love my little grandson. Coming from a family of nine sisters, attending an all-girls boarding school, and giving birth to three daughters means that I know very little about boys.
Finally, I have one in my life now. I could be with him all day every day if I could. In fact, I jokingly talk about stealing him, but I would never do that to him, his mother and father. I’m full of love for him, like my own child, all over again.
Being in the city with him was one of the catalysts for us to buy a house there. It is often said that you should never buy a house close to your children because they will always up and leave. This is my experience now. They are threatening to buy a house in the southwest.
How can I not love this little man:
- who climbs three flights to visit me in the morning when he awakes
- who reaches up to me to be carried
- who puts his arms around me
- who laughs and plays so readily
- who will sit on my lap all day while I read to him
- who loves me
- who calls Nan Nan whenever he sees an old lady 🙂
