A couple of weeks ago, we became grandparents to a beautiful baby boy. I still can't quite believe he is here. When I open my Facebook and see his picture as I am scrolling I think, OMG there he is. He wasn't here before and now he is and he is a part of me! It is just an amazing feeling that so many know so well. Everyone told me I would love being a grandmother and yes, I do.
When we were over my son's house and I was sitting next to him waiting for my turn to hold the baby, he whispered in my ear, " I am glad you came through everything and that you are here for this." I had been thinking about that as well. So glad that I had survived my two bouts of cancer and I was alive and well to hold my grandson. Grandchildren were my motivation for living, and my dream has started to come true as I expect to be around for more grandchildren!
I will see if I get permission from my son to post baby pics on the blog.
We are in the middle of a big snow storm like so many others on the east coast today. I never mind a day in the house catching up on things with a nice big pot of chicken soup on the stove.
Yeah, it's 2012!

So happy for you! He is delicious!!
I am so over this winter, you have no idea. We've just been pummled by one storm after another. I'm sick of it. However..I did get a snow day yesterday & did the homey thing as well. Lots of cooking & reading.
It was divine.
1. I LOVE YOUR HEADER!! So wonderfully positive.
2. A grandchild! Wonderful! Congratulations. Hold that baby; drink him up; sing to him; and converse with him like he already understands...
3. Saw the oncologist this week. It's been 12 years.
Congratulations to you and the entire family! A new baby is such a perfect reminder of the goodness of God and the continuity of life. I join you in being ever so glad you are here and doing great and able to enjoy this little guy to the fullest. I wish you wonderful memories in the making!
Would be so wonderful to have a little one to cuddle again. Get in all the cuddling you can, because they grow up so fast!
Congratulations Kathy on 12 years!!! You are my inspiration!!
