I recently made a trip to the Washington DC area to visit family. It is always fun, but this was a special trip. Among other things, I went to see my new grandson for the first time…… It is always amazing to hold someone that small and young. Such a thrill! The tiny hands and changing facial expressions are precious.
On this trip, I was also reminded of how amazing my other grandchildren are. They are getting a bit older now and it is amazing to watch them develop. When they are alone or together, they are sharp, funny, and intelligent. When they are together it is a thrill to watch them interact and feed off each other. It is a symphony of fun, wit, laughs and affection that makes it difficult to return home.
I think many of us grow up too self confident. We struggle to make new friends and learn new skills. Our attempts at “fitting in” can be awkward. We think we are alone and isolated way more than we actually are. It can take time to overcome some of these barriers until we get much older. Unfortunately, I still have not overcome many of them, LOL!
I just wish they knew how wonderful they are now and how much potential they have in their future! They are “the bomb, and I am so proud of them!
