My lovely young grandchild just walked past me . She tossed me a beautiful smile and said. “Good bye Nana, i am on my way to Ms. Jennas house for art. I should be home about 12:30 or so. I love you” She blew me a kiss and stepped out of the door, she locked the door with her own key.
I told her I loved and said good bye.
And as the door shut, i burst into tears – I am crying still.
why?
she felt so calm, present and mature.
and I love her to depths that words cannot reach.
I celebrate her deepening maturity.
And I am honored to be her grandmother.
Parenting/Grandparenting, if done well, is the only love that leads to 1 million tender goodbyes….
