New Grandson

Well, right now he isn't "brand" new, he is 13 weeks. But he is still new to me. And I am so lucky. When I am with him, he is all mine. I encourage his parents to go out, have fun and leave me & Alec alone. He & I spend 2 1/2 days together, I go home and get my rest. Since I live 3 hours from them, I am not on call all the time. He is not my first, but the only one I am close enough to see. I have 4 granddaughters all close together in age. 3 live in Florida with their mom and the other one lives close to her dad, my son, but my ex daughter in law has made it very difficult to see her. Back to my Alec. I have always tried to have a special bond with my grand kids, and I think I have achieved that. I am being both grandmother & grandfather since my husband passed away before any of the grand kids were born. I love being a grandmother and I love my time away from them. But even with all the problems, I am blessed. My son & daughter in law have made me a part of all the process of their marriage and throughout the pregnancy.
