Patience Does Pay Off

[Grama-Herc]

Continuing this story of sucess is going to include a true joke. My kid called me for cooking advice. HA! ! I made a real funny. If the good lord had intended me to cook he would not have invented restraunts. I am not a cook nor can I cook. For my kid to call me for cooking advice is so cool. To bad I was not able to help her.

It is still a sucess story even if I can't cook!

This is wonderful. I'm very happy for you.

Another chapter in the success of the reunion of myself and m y daughter. She called again.

This time she needed someone to talk to. That really made me feel like our relationship had moved into a more secure place than ever before. She is having mother-in-law trouble and just had to vent. Imagine, a kid who 6 months ago would not even talk to me, trusts me enough now to vent to me.

Patience, that's the key. My mom has always told me that my daughter would come back to me someday. She was right and I am so glad she was. My kid has forgiven me and I her!

Update to this success story that has me on Cloud nine or maybe even cloud ten!!!

My daughter is flying down to visit me for my birthday and bringing my grandbaby. I still can't believe it is happening. I keep pinching myself that this is actually happening. She is coming to see us ! ! (gotta included the great grama--my mom)

Miracles do happen and they happen to us at the most unusual times in our lifes.

OMG! ! ! MY KID IS COMING TO SEE ME AND BRINGING MY 1st GRANDBABY

This is a success story for all of you who are estranged from your family. It can happen and will happen when you least expect it and when you finally give up the guilt you carry.

I pray all of you can one day feel the joy I am feeling and share your joy as I am sharing.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. This is going to be a special visit. There is more to it than just seeing my new and only grandbaby. My daughter will be standing in front of me, smiling and everything. I won't believe it until she is right there where I can hug her and look into her eyes and see she has forgiven me and loves me and all that other mushy stuff.

I now officially believe in miracles. I DO I DO I DO

Update! Dam it! T rip is being put off until the middle of the month around the 17th/18th?

The small studio apt that I was renting for my kid and her kid is not available untill then. I spent all last night getting really "REAL" about them staying in our place and had to finally admit that due to space and cats it just won't work.

I am disappointed, but it is only a few weeks later. My daughter said in her email last night that I could bet my "sweet behind"---(translate into other words)-----that she is coming down to see us. So I know she will, just a little disappointed right now.

But we have to be realistic, right! So anyway, it will be in the middle of August!
