Okay so I have been doing this blog for about a month or so and I know there are some people who read it. Well that's very nice and I appreciate it!! But I just realized that for a whole month I haven't talked about one of my very favorite people in the whole world. Ready for a shocker? It's Crew!!! Oh yes my wonderful grandson!
Crew Mitchell Springer, born on December 7, 2007 in Okinawa, Japan. So that makes him just a little over 2 years old and the light of my life! He never bores me and never can do anything wrong. I get the blessings of being his Nana and I can't wait to see him and talk to him again even if I just talked to him the day before.
I get to see Crew and his mamma on Skype (best thing ever invented next to Pepsi) about 2 times a week and I talk to Jordy about 4 times a week. Now I can't forget his mom and dad, they are the reason for his being here. I love Jordy so much and she picked one heck of a husband in John. Very proud of him and his willingness to serve our country and Jordy is so great for supporting him, but everyone knows that Crew is my favorite right now. I know it sounds awful, but it doesn't mean I don't love my kids or Tom. It just means that Crew is my link with Heaven. He is the most darling, funny, sweet, stubborn, squeezable baby. And he is just the remedy for a bad day or rough week. He can make me smile and laugh and believe in goodness when I'm really wondering if there is any left in the world.
Being a grandma is the best gift God can give me. It means that I did a good job raising Jordan to be a good mom. It means that even during the worst teen-age moment I chose not to strangle my child. It means that because Jordy wants me to be a part of Crew's life, that she loves me and that means everything to me. I am so lucky to be the Nana of Crew and maybe his sibling(s) one day.
The only thing that will make it more complete is when I have a whole house full of grandchildren. Crystal and Colton will bless me with more I hope and then....wow will my life be joyous! Overflowing! Tom loves being a grandparent as much as I do. He loves that boy and spoils him like I've never seen anyone else be spoiled. Papa and Crew have an awesome relationship and I am so glad. I loved my grandpa so much and I know how important it is to have that in your life.
So here's to being a grandparent......the reward for not killing your children!
Thought for the day:
* A funny one by my friend Tracy: Why can't we park in the handicap space, but can use the handicap bathroom?
Quote for the day:
Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
