Becoming a Grandma…
After having raised my five children and scores of other families children, I thought I knew what it would feel like to become a grandma.
Nothing prepared me for such a wonderful feeling! It’s not just the joy of seeing my daughter as a loving new parent herself, it is the joy of seeing this child represent these two blended families. Alani Rose is the combination of many backgrounds and this little baby herself is like the U.N. to our growing family. Isn’t it amazing how this little baby girl can bridge the gap of indifference and misunderstandings, all by herself and make us want to be a better person? Through her we all want to be closer than ever and strive to become better human beings. This is the gift that no one really talks about…how a child can unite both sides of a family and bring everyone closer togethe. I am thrilled being a new grammy and feel overjoyed and blessed! I am awaiting my second grandbaby (another little girl) coming right at Thanksgiving, which gives this Holiday it’s truest meaning. I am grateful, I am thankful, I am Blessed!
