Visits

I have been blessed so much. I am so grateful that I am in a position that I actually can travel and visit my children and their families. It is so fun to be a grandma. I went shopping the other day. I wanted to buy my grandchildren a little toy to play with because it is so fun to spoil them...just a little. It was a discovery store and so there were so many cool toys. (I would like to buy them all for myself.) But the really great thing was that as I went up and down the aisles I found myself saying, "Rozlyn would like this, Spencer would really enjoy this, Ryen would have so much fun with this, Emma would get a kick out of this, wouldn't Benson like to have this? etc." It struck me later that I was so grateful that I knew my grandchildren well enough to know what they like. Now...granted any of the stuff was cool and probably would have been fine for any of them, but what a blessing to know them well enough. It has always been my dream to be a part of my grandchildren's lives. I have always wanted to really know them. I pray that as the years go by the Lord blesses me to always be able to know them well enough. As I left that store with my arms full I cursed myself for my obsessive ways and walked the 30 minutes back to the car, sweating profusely. I guess if you're going to be THAT kind of a grandma you should at least park a little closer.
