Thinking how beautiful the bond between a grandparent and grandchild is, and how different from parent - child. I'd never seen that before, not like this.
Been to my dad with my girl Tuesday last. And I can't remember when I've seen my dad so incredibly happy!
I know he loves me to death as well, but I realize that he can also consult me, share his problems with me. He doesn't often, but sometimes, when he feels no one can understand him but me, he phones me. And I treasure that, a lot!
Having seen him with my daughter now ... the difference is, he doesn't, hasn't ever, and won't ever, dump his problems on her. So there's only ... love. How beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes! I had not expected him to be so happy to see her, underestimated how deep that bond runs. Absolutely beautiful, fills my heart with joy.
Dang, I'm crying now
It is the same with my daughter and my mother
...Watching and listening to them interact is one of my greatest joys...Sounds like you are having a wonderful visit with your daughter Crystal!
Hi Leigh!
My girl isn't here now, she went to her dad's Wednesday, was his birthday. Right now she's with her best friend. I think she's going to be back Monday, but not sure.
And yes, we had a good time! Managed to see my son as well, which is difficult as he works 6 days a week, and can't get time off as it's the busiest time of the year.
Must say it was good to have a few days on my own. My neck has gone completely noodle doodle, too many visits and too many chairs that aren't right for my back etc. If my neck gets like that, my head starts doing funky things too (concentration, coordination probs etc.) My girl doesn't really know that, not at gut level so to speak, as she wasn't living with me anymore when I had the accident that caused it.
So when she gets back, I'll have to talk to her about it, as I now feel guilty that if I don't do things with her 24/7, I let her down. Maybe she doesn't feel that way at all, but I think it's good to clear it up between us.
On the other hand side, it was really good to notice and feel that she just merges into my life.
