Grandma Time!

Have I ever said how much I love being a grandma? If I have I am going to say it again! I love it. I can understand now how my dad felt being a grandpa. He would love to sit and just watch the girls play, just to interact with each other. I can see why my dad felt that his granddaughters were his sunshine because I feel that way with my own granddaughters. But this is bittersweet because I was pretty selfish when my dad was around and I moved away from him, taking his sunshine with me. I know without a doubt I would feel that way too if my grandchildren moved away from me. But I also know my family has a life of their own and they need to go where they need to for their own families. But I feel the pain of my actions almost everyday and I hope and pray that my dad will forgive me. So...while I have my granddaughters around me, I sit back and watch them also and feel the same kind of joy my own father did in watching my daughters. Now the picture above is of my three daughters, Brenna, Ashley and Raelyn. Brenna I think was going into 2nd grade and Ashley and Raelyn were starting daycare. We were living in San Bernardino at that the time.

This picture is of my dad holding Ashley. I have a picture somewhere I haven't been able to find of my dad holding Brenna, Ashley and Raelyn. I sure do miss him and so do my daughters.
