S.K.
I think (and am told from others) that my greatest characteristic is my compassion. I think this, for many reasons, makes me a great mother and now grandmother; but also can make it hard at times, too.
All my boys are now grown men and I still go through so much of what they go through.....Us moms don't stop hurting with (and for) our children even when they are all grown up!! I just can't "kiss the boo-boos away" and make things okay for them anymore and that is the hard part!!! AND, I try my best not to be a meddling mom with my grown children.....
I am a very proud mom and now the very proud grandmom (ma-ma) to a very beautiful granddaughter who I have helped to raise since her birth. I take care of her full-time (monday thru friday) while her parents are working. I like to call myself a SAHG (stay-at-home grandma!)
