I don't know how to describe the feelings I have for my grandchildren. I love my daughter and she has blessed me with seven wonderful grandchildren. Life has made it dificult for me to be able to see them as often as I'd like. (I work full time, and currently am battling Ovarian Cancer). However, there is no better feeling then talking or being with my grandchildren.
My youngest is five. He reminds me of "Kids say the darnest things". By the time he leaves our house, I have two days of privately smiling as I recall some of his witty things he tells me.
This weekend as we were driving home he said grandma, I'm so glad you can drive again, evem though you don't have any hair from your cancer. It's okay he said...it'll grow back too. Really how do you not love that child. He was so proud his grandma could drive again. He didn't care that I was one bald grandma he just knew I was back after three months of being very sick and this time was our time to do all the things we'd done before. He decided because I could drive I must be alright.
We had a wonderful overnight. I played and entertained him. It was wonderful...He kept me on my toes as we went from one activity to another. I think I was trying to prove to myself I could do it again... There is no value as to what the innocent love from your grandchildren can feel like. I pray everday God will keep me cancer free, so I may have at least thrity more years of these kids. I'm 62 in July and 92 might just work for me. If they extend our lifespan and I'm physiclly and mentally alright..I may ask for more time. Who knows what the future holds. I'm going to see these kids as much as possible. Will you as a grandparent? Do you feel the same joy?
