A moment if you will – as a grandmother.
Grandmother sounds so stuffy so I prefer the “hipper” GG if you don’t mind.
It’s be over 10 months since our wee Evie June graced our lives with her effervescentness! (made that word up).
And while I love and cherish my children – there is just something about that wee red headed cookie that just makes me gush with joy.
Yes yes – I can gush with joy- I am not totally soulless you know (shhh – don’t want to tarnish my rep)
I try and see Evie at least once a week – so she recognizes me and remembers who I am.
That is very important in our lives as she grows and becomes more aware of the world.
I am fortunate enough to work so close to where my daughter and her partner live that I can pop over at lunch if/when I am having a craptaculate day and just hang out and get punched in the face when she hulks out OR even better get there just after nap time.
After nap time is the best.
Evie wakes up smiling and giggling like the lunatic she is so happy to be awake and pointing at everything and grabbing my hair – my nose – my face – it just makes me realize how loving the human spirit is.
My daughter and her partner are just stupendous parents – keeping her silly and goofy.
I can remember as a young woman that all I ever wanted was children to have me feel like whole in life – no no – not that I am not – but just the missing pieces – now that we have Evie – it’s like that tiny little “click” of that last piece that has that puzzle complete.
Am sure those two will add another grandchild (or two lol) but until then – Evie June Brady is the apple of my eye.
Now to find her a PONY!!!!
