MY GRANDSON

 For whatever reason I LOVE LOVE LOVE my grandson. I am talking about my son’s son. I know most people love their grandchildren. I just love this little boy more than my own life. He is the only one that I would give my life up for. Maybe it doesn’t make sense.
Right from the start I took part in his life. When he was born SARS was around. His other grandmother had been in Vietnam so was not able to be with him at all for a period of time. I can’t remember for how long. I do remember the first time she held our grandson. It was so moving and heartwarming!!!!!!!!! Anyhow my grandson was very colicky so I stayed at the house for a few weeks. I helped out and maybe that’s why
 I have such a huge bond with him. I tell other people I love them but it is more "automatic." I am not saying I don’t love other people but I love this grandson with a deep passion. 
Anyhow yesterday I took him for the day. I told him how special he was to me. We shopped and I took him to an indoor amusement park. If all goes well with my colonoscopy tomorrow I will take him in the afternoon. I am so lucky that his mother lets me take him. She is smart enough to realize our deep attachment!
His mother(a lesbian) is getting married Labour day weekend. I am very happy for her. It gives my grandson stability I hope.
Today I am preparing for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning. So far so good. I usually have diarrhea so no big change yet. I am staying close to home however. I guess I’ll watch TV, work on some hobbies and sleep. I told hubby he can go for supper so I don’t have to be in the kitchen.
OH???????The bathroom is calling me. Can’t wait and take any chances…  LOL!

I know we’re not supposed to have favorites but I think most people have more of an attachment to certain members of the family. I know that I do!

i do understand your feelings for this particular grandson. they say were shouldn’t have stronger feelings for one than the others but it’s not possible to do that. there’s always one that tugs at our heartstrings more than any other. take care,

Glad you love your grandson so much and have a deep bond with him. Also glad to hear you are supportive of his mother’s marriage!

RYN:No not walking to a Barnes and Noble. We have a major street that is called Barnes. Lots of traffic and even big trucks. So when my grandson rides his bike to school I walk to that street and help him cross since there is no crossing guard at that intersection. Love,

It is wonderful, the close relationship you have with your grandson! :o) !! hugs, Nicky

I hope all goes well with your colonoscopy tomorrow. I understand completely what your heart is feelings. When my grandson was born, I felt that same maternal bond that I felt when my daughter was born–magnified a million times over. I didn’t think I could ever feel more love than that I feel for my husband, then my daughter was born. I didn’t think I could feel more love than I feltfor my daughter, then my grandson was born. I think when we’re given the opportunity to be there through the birth and in the weeks following, we can’t help but feel that deep maternal bond. There’s something about that intense exposure in those first few weeks, I think…
