Sick Baby

I love computers. Not only is it a great way to keep in touch with the world but it's a great way to keep in touch with your family.

What did we do before we could im someone whenever we wanted to? This morning I had a sick grandbaby. There's nothing worse than a sick baby. She was throwing up during the night. Her poor little tummy was bothering her and she didn't want to eat anything. Her mommy stayed home with her.

Missy was good enough to im me and let me know what was going on. She has been able to keep me informed step by step of Serif's progress throughout the day. From when she was able to start sipping water to when she woke up and finally smiled. I am so fortunate to have a daughter who includes me in this wonderful little girl's life.

These days families are scattered and it's hard for grandparents to spend time with their grandchildren. I know of grandmother's who, if they are lucky, get to see their grandchildren once a year. When I was growing up I didn't see my grandparents that often. To me they were voices over a telephone.

I was so happy that my children grew up in the same town as their grandparents. They were able to enjoy them as they grew up. Both of my children have loving memories of their grandparents. There is a special bond between a grandparent and their grandchildren.

I am so happy that I live in the same town as my precious Serif. I try to spend as much time as I can with her. I want to be as much a part of her life as I can. I feel sorry for those grandparents that live close to their grandchildren and don't take advantage of spending time with their grandchildren. They are missing so much.

I definitely think they have it right when they said the best part of having children is that sooner or later, if you're lucky, you get to become a grandparent.

Serif is feeling better so Grammy G will be stopping by for some hugs and kisses on the way home from work. I am so lucky.
