There are always those moments when you wish life could just go on just as it is without changing anything. Life around here was that way a little more than two years ago when my oldest was a senior. Life was good, our family was in a good place, and as a mom I wasn't ready for life to change. Oh, I knew it would and Andrew was ready to start his adult life. Two week after graduation he left for basic training for the Air Force and we started to learn how to adjust our family without him.
After about nine months, he was out of tech school and assigned to a base five hours from us. While he wasn't too excited about that, I was thrilled. After settling at the base he started dating a girl he had known since 8th grade. Nine must be his lucky number. He called to tell us he was getting married and they were expecting a baby. Now let me let you, as a mom that's a lot to take in in one phone call. We planned a wedding in a month and I watch the young man my son had become marry.
Now at 39, I am a grandma and life is changing again. Let me tell you though nothing can prepare you for this. Leaving to make the five hour drive last Friday to meet our grandson, being on the edge of our seats waiting for news on how things were going. Half way to our destination we got the news Layton Andrew had arrived and we were officially grandparents. This so far has been the best change in our life. My heart is so full right now.
