Tomorrow my daughter, sil and ms.b leave for their first vacation since ms. b was born. I have never gone more than 2 days at the most, without seeing her precious face, since she entered this world. She's 22 months old. The thought of not seeing her for 12 days brings a pout to my face. Not that I think she will forget her gma/mimi, but not to have those kisses and hugs from her and hear her call my name out makes me quite sad.
But...on the other hand, she is traveling to Hawaii to visit her grandma Lynn and grandpa Randy. The last time GL and GR came to visit, ms. b was maybe 4 months old. So, I am very happy that ms. b is going to meet her other grandma and grandpa and get to spend the time with them.
As bittersweet as it is to not be able to see ms. b for 12 days, she is at least going to be returning. I feel a lil bit of sadness for any grandparents who are not around their grandchildren on a regular basis.
Again I am reminded how grateful I am to have god, family, friends and health in my life. I hope you are too.
faith patience and hope...all will be good in the end.
What about my precious face? :D
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. She will remember you. And when she sees you, she will get all happy and run towards you yelling MIMI! And even though the 12 days were hard, it'll all be ok because of how precious and excited she'll be in that moment :)
Love you Mama.
