To be loved
Welcome back!
About a week ago Granddaughter Number One decided that I was just the most important person on the planet and the world was going to end if she wasn’t in my arms. This is probably caused by the fact that I’ve always been her favorite person combined with the fact that I was gone all day twice about a week ago. Now she doesn’t want me out of her sight. If she’s in her play pen and I leave her mother watching her while I use the restroom then she’s screaming and crying until I get back.
While this is great for my ego, it makes it nearly impossible to do any posting on here because my laptop is out of commission and if I type on my desktop machine while she’s asleep (her crib is in the same room). she wakes up and all computer-related activity stops. Truth be told, I’m pushing my luck typing this because I just heard her stir behind me.
Know what? As aggravating as the situation can be, I wouldn’t trade it for the world, because I know that in 14 years she won’t even want to admit to her friends that she knows me.
Darius Rucker, former lead singer for Hootie and the Blowfish, said it best: It won’t be like this for long.

When children love, they love completely. I always look forward to getting hugs from my grandkids during the weekends. But the sad fact is: Children grow up so fast. How I wish it didnt have to be like that.
How sad.
