I admit there have been days when I have cried buckets. Still, though, Monday I received the very first handwritten I have ever received from my 7 year old granddaughter. It is precious beyond words. To know that to her, I am still very much a part of her life helps heal my aching heart. <br /><br />Thank you for pointing out Lisa's post.

Like you, I'm a close by grandmother who would not want to change my lot. But my far away grandmother friends get to visit their grandchildren and actually live in the same house with them for days or weeks at a time. They get a different perspective than I'll ever have. Still, I'll be happy with shorter but more frequent visits.Susan Adcoxhttp://grandparents.about.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840587404987355490.post-26489307654229774702011-02-22T14:51:17.083-07:002011-02-22T14:51:17.083-07:00A sweet post, Shelley.
