There are times I feel I am being punished for something, and the pain of when that dreaded good-bye comes is the worst there is. I hate returning to the quite emptiness of our house. I was and am lucky I know to have a relationship with them, I know plenty of grands who don't and I think that would kill me. This past spring I was fortunate to get to help my daughter out as she trained for a new position and her hours where crazy, then the grands returned with me for their summer visit, so in all I was submersed 24/7 for 5 months, when they went home I was lost and the house sat with their finger prints and smudges and toys around for a month, I am finally cleaning them up, but I hate the silence, my daughter makes comments about how she would love a few minutes to herself and jokes are made, she thinks they are jokes, about how her kids will always live close by. We do the web camera like last week it was the oldest 6th birthday and we were going to watch her open her present from us and I had sent up cupcakes and had a cupcake here to sing and blow out candles, wouldn't you the connection wouldn't work so we got pictures a day later, believe me the tears where flowing and the heart was breaking. She lost a 4th tooth the other day and I learned of it as an oh by the way, after the first tooth it has just become a common event for them, but even those to me aren't common and I feel hurt. Hearing the 2 year old in the back ground talking better and yelling that she is 2 is heart breaking. I know I am spoiled as a long distant grand as there are grands who get less then I do, I don't take it for granted at all and always am hungry for more. I think of the technology available to us and feel very grateful that I am not in a period as our ancestors were with no means of communications save for a letter, but I am also greedy and want more, in this case more is never enough. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but it is nice to know it is falling to someone who understands. Thank you for sharing and for listening.<br /><br />ConnieConnieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359665756508640995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411480117642589097.post-26031611432774492542009-08-28T23:37:52.667-07:002009-08-28T23:37:52.667-07:00I know the feeling Shelley.
