I love this sketch and used a prompt from a class about how things have changed. My journaling (in the bag) reads: Being Grandma is a new role for me, and one I am so happy to adopt. Not so many years ago, I was someone’s daughter and a teacher, but no more. I am still a very happy . . . wife, mother, friend, and volunteer . . . all roles I’ve been filling for many years.
But being Grandma is different and quite wonderful. I love these two beautiful babies, and leaving one of them a few weeks ago in Oregon was one of the hardest things I’ve done recently. I know this will be a never-ending source of joy and happiness, not only for me but for our whole family.
