Silly grandma

I am a silly grandma. I go over to J & L's and hold and cuddle and stare and stroke his hair and kiss and hug little Ry for hours.... I take about 20 photos of him every time I see him because he changes and his personality is already starting to show.....poor Laurie and Jordan they probably want me to go home and leave them alone.
I am not saying that I didn't do this to my own children, but then again I had to be with them 24/7 and I was probably tired, worn out, etc.... Right now for Ry I am fresh and excited, a new face and voice.
He doesn't need me for anything really, but I need him to fill that space in my heart that I didn't know was empty.....
I think grand parenting comes with a bit of wisdom and the ability to see the bigger picture....I see him and I ponder on his future, I see how much he is like his dad in all that he does. Daily I am better understanding the really important things that are my responsibility to make sure he knows and is exposed too. I also understand that I am there to back up and support J & L.
I know that this little guy is truly a miracle...we are all blessed by him and his sweet spirit.
Everyone tells me that being a grandparents is the best.....and not just because I get to sleep through the night.....I am seeing the truth to that statement --- being a grandparent is the best. A grandparent is a lifter, a support, a reference, a spoiler of good...... A grandparent gets to do and participate in the good parts of parenting...I guess that is why we are called grand parents, because we get to parent grandly.....

I love being a grandma....Little Ry is awesome!
