My teenage grandchild needed a hug today . We snuggled on the couch and I listened to her breathe. “This world is terrifying “ Nana, she sighed.
Yes, it is , I agreed.
“Thank you for letting me stay home from school today – I needed you, and my room.”
“Sure, baby.”
After a kiss another hug – she picked up her dog and went to her room.
I Remained on the couch , feeling grateful to be her Nana and missing my own.
