Heart and Soul: From being ma to grandma

We grandparents step onto a peculiar path of joy and charm in the early years of our grandchildren’s growth ... and then the kids outgrow their games and outings with us ... and off they go! While on that eventful interlude with them, we reap some special memories that never fade no matter how much the kids may change through the years.

On a rainy afternoon, all cool and quiet around me, I was thinking of Mother’s Day, when some mothers and grandmothers may be given a treat in some form. And I think of how quickly the years have shot by, from being a mother to a grandmother, and now with one of my grandchildren already holding a job immediately after her graduation.
