Since our move to Arizona, I sure do miss a lot of people. One such person is my Little Granny. I have so many memories of my Granny growing up. When we'd visit her and she would make her spanish food (which I hated as a kid!) she would sneak me a buck and say, "Jew go git hambooger, Bikki. But, don't tell nobody." Of course I told. I had to rub it in to my siblings and cousins that I was Granny's favorite! I would eat my big bad burger, fries and coke right in front of them with a smile on my face, while they had to stomach whatever she cooked! I even had change left over that Granny never asked back for.
Yes, I miss my Granny. I called her the other day. She misses me too. I will be able to see her soon because I'm speaking in N.C. so I'll get to eat some of that Spanish food that now, as an adult, I crave. My Granny's been a good grandmother to me. She's encouraging, she prays for me and she loves me unconditionally. I can do no wrong in her eyes.
They say you never love a child like your grandchildren. I believe that. I hear it from all my friend's who are grandparent's. "Oh, Vic, I know how much you love your girls, but just wait. When you have grandchildren, you'll experience a love that you can't explain. There's nothing like it."
Well, soon, I'm going to find out exactly what they're talking about! My daughter Teryn and her husband Chad, gave us the most extraordinary news! We're having a baby! Yes, I said it, WE'RE having a baby! This is not just happening to Teryn and Chad. In our family, what happens to one of us is shared by all of us!
It's all so amazing and surreal. I already love this baby that's not any bigger than a grain of rice. I'm already imagining holding her/him, buying gifts and spoiling, oh the spoiling!
So, I want to say, thanks Granny! You've been a great teacher. Now, it's my turn. I will make you proud.

Congratulations Teryn and Chad!! We are so excited we can hardly stand it! And now with the purchase of our new computer and webcam (thanks to my husband!), I'm able to watch my grandchild grow in my daughter's belly every day! Life is good.
