I had a great time with my nine month old grandson yesterday. It is bittersweet, as in a couple of months they are moving to another state, and my weekly time with him will be over. I have had this long distance situation with my granddaughter, and our relationship has stayed strong, but still... I am feeling the loss already, and with the threat of losing my daughter, it seems overwhelming. I will adjust and adapt, as I do, but the effort, oh, the effort.
Last night a watched a Hallmark film on tv, that is what I've come to, and after rotting my brain with sugary romance, finished the mystery I've been reading, by Nevada Barr, "What Rose Forgot". It is delightful, funny and pertinent to folks of my age, and features a grandmother and granddaughter relationship that was sheer joy. I'm going to take up another mystery, and why not. The universe is mysterious, my daughter's prognosis is mysterious, my emotional state is mysterious, even to myself. There will be change, disruption, a feeling of powerlessness and lack of control, and well, hello, welcome to the world.
