My family was getting smaller, only my daughter now who decided
not to have children..yet . My son passed away. But today I have
two daughters and four granddaughters and three great grandsons.
My second granddaughter just had a little girl last night. I have my
first great granddaughter. I feel comatose..unreal…I can’t believe
the way I feel about this little girl and how much I want to see her
and hold her, how much I love her though I haven’t seen her
or touched her. So much of my life is in flux. Sometimes emotionally
I don’t even know where I am. So this is what it’s like to be a great
grandma. I can’t get this grin off my face or the desire to see her
and hold her off my heart. I’m in a daze. Is this a dream? How can
this be real. This is really weird.

weird indeed.
well done,
Love this Judy. Weird can be wonderful.
Very nice, Judy. This made me smile. :-)
Judy, a few years ago I think you never dreamed you would be a grandmother and now you are not only a grandmother but also a GREAT grandmother. It is really WEIRD sometime how life turns out, and fun when the weirdness is wonderful. Congrats on the birth of your great grand!
I'm so happy for you with the grandchildren and now a great grandchild in your life. This is a beautiful and heart-felt poem, Judy!
Loved the poem, beautiful and weird feelings.
I can’t get this grin off my face
