Help, I'm a Grandma!
My second grandchild was born last week. I was 3500 miles away but this week I am there, holding my just hatched grandson.
I am new to this. My other chick is just a year old. There are no words for this, seeing your child with her child. Seeing your baby holding his baby.
But I am a bit anxious about being a grandmother. I’m struggling just a bit with the new title and role. Is this who I am now?
I don’t bake cookies anymore. I don’t knit or quilt or do any kind of hand crafts and likely never will. (I got sent to the principal’s office in 8th grade for refusing to learn to crochet.) More power to all my friends who are masters at these worthy arts. But I also know we women in our Wonder Years are breaking all the stereotypes. Here are some grandmas maybe I could be . … ?
