Queen of Everything: First blog EVER! ...I may babble
Queen of Everything: First blog EVER! ...I may babble: I feel like a novel author trying to figure out how to introduce her characters without confusing her readers....here we go I am a mother ...
My grandson was born. The moment and memories are stacking up fast!
So you can guess that when my grandbaby was born I naturally dropped my blogging. Instead, I took up smooching, hugging, shopping for soft, cute little things, making ridiculously looking faces and inhuman sounds to evolve any type of reaction or to make a connection to my new grandson.
And, now he is 8 months old. My, my, my how time flies.
The moments and memories are stacking up fast. In retrospect it is a blur, but a joyful one filled with rainbows on 100% sunny days. Spending time with him is the purest joy there is-the kind that narrows your view to only the sweet little face, blocking every ache and pain, bad day at the office or annoyance big or small.
So, I would have to say that a grandbaby goes a long way to fill at least a corner of the empty nest. Certainly, I feel more needed and gratified to have someone new to hold, love and adore---and of course to shop for. I think my relationship with my daughter has deepened too. We are connecting on a whole new level for now we share motherhood as another bond between us. It seems my role in her life is more defined now - her son's grandma. That really helps shape my identity, after being lost for a while in the uncertainty of facing an empty nest.
My upcoming posts will be about how I marvel at my daughter's motherhood. She is blowing me away. My grandson is sooooo lucky to have her as a mommy.
Until then my fellow empty nesters.
