Last week, Maddy said to me, "Hey, Gram Girl! I need to tell you something." First of all, I have no idea where she got "Gram Girl". Then she proceeded to tell me a story complete with her opinions about it. Wow! I had a glimpse of her a few, short years down the road as she runs out the door to be with her friends. They run away from us for many more years than they run towards us. I need to remind myself that listening intently to a her stories, sitting at the table to color with her, or putting together the same puzzle for the umpteenth time, is a blessing and not a burden; a blessing that hopefully both of us remember for a very long time.
