The Journey

I always thought I was so lucky to have three healthy, happy children. Raising our children was a journey for my husband and me. There were bumps in the road along that journey but the kids successfully arrived to adulthood. It seemed like a quick trip. First came college, then careers and marriage.

Now we have five beautiful grandchildren. A whole new world!
Suddenly there are feeling that you didn't know you had. I started doing things that I had never done before. As soon as I received the call that the first grandchild was on the way, I decided that it was time to learn to knit so that I could make her special warm gifts that could only come from Grandma.

Sadly, our grandchildren live far away, but with the help of their parents, my husband and I have found ways to stay in touch and they do know us. I will go into that on my next post.
