Welcome To Marie’s First Grandson

I spoke to one of my team members yesterday, that is my old team as Ihave now left them, to congratulate her on the birth of her first grandchild, it was so lovely as she spoke of being so completely overwhelmed by it that she sort of felt in shock, and yes it is a bit like that, nothing really prepares you for that moment when you hold your first grandchild, I did what Marie did and cried, tears of joy and relief.

Is it the same when others come along, well maybe not quite the same but you still get the huge knot in your stomach the first time you look on the new member to your family, what I have found is that with each little one, is the joy of seeing them develop their own very different personalities, they all have their own little ways, I find I also always want them to love me as a grandmother it is some very base instinct set deep inside, as I would not describe myself as the most maternal person in the world.

My greatest regrets are that my parents never lived long enough to see my daughter and that my sister who tried very hard to hang on to her life long enough  to see little Paige  born but lost her battle four weeks before Paige was born, but I truly believe my sister is Paige’s guardian angel and that she is often with me in spirit and looking over my shoulder shaking her head at me thinking my god what is she doing! she was a great person for keeping me right and I miss her dearly.

For Marie do enjoy every minute with your new little man in your life.xxx
