It been over three years since I wrote on this blog. There have been so many changes in my life since then.
I have quit my job and am a stay at home mom again. Who knows how much longer that will last. But I have become an almost full time crafter! Now that is a job to LOVE!
I also am grandma 2 more times and with another one due in June. The biggest change in my life was when my 16 year old daughter, Emma, got pregnant. I already had 7 grand chchildren, so why would one more effect me so much? First of all, with his momma only being 17 when he was born, they lived with us. Second, I fell head-over-heals in love with him. Daren became part of my everyday life. I knew he was not my own child, but I loved him like he was. His momma went to work and I stayed home with him. The more time I spent with him, the deeper he snuggled into my heart. It was very natural for me to love him.
Then one day, his momma got married. They moved just down the street. It was very hard for me to let him go, but it was only a mile and I still saw him everyday. Emma didn't drive or even have a car, so I drove her everywhere she needed to go. Then she got pregnant again, she relied on me even more. I didnt mind at all. Many people in our family, especially my husband, said she was taking advantage of me, but I never felt that way. It is what moms do! I got to see Daren everyday, that was always the payoff for me! Soon James was born all seemed perfect! With most of my grandchildren living in other states, I was so happy to have these 2 boys living just down the street. I was loving this grandma thing!
But all good things must come to an end. Four months ago, August 12, 2014 they told us that they were thinking about moving. MOVING. 300 miles away moving. Just thinking.... only if the job comes through... praying... On August 27th they were all packed and we said our goodbyes and they were gone.
My life shattered. Changed forever. GONE. Just like that they were gone.
