Grandma?

It's a title I've wanted for a long time...
And now.. It's a reality.

Nathan and Kayla are expecting a bundle of joy..
This coming June, I will officially be "Grandma Susan"

I posted this Halloween picture of me and my teammates because when I look at it, I don't see grandma nor feel it.. but none-the-less.. I'm embracing it.

Here's the kind of Grandma I want to be... first of all.. I want to be called Grandma.. not Nana or Nanny, or granny... just Grandma. I want to make cookies with my grandkids.. crochet them cute blankets and sweaters.. When they come to visit, I want to take them to the museum and zoo and movies and the park and the amusement park. I want to be the grandma that my grandma was. She is who I want to emulate. I lost her last year.. almost exactly a year ago.. and now.. I can honor her by being the loving, accepting, honorable grandmother that she was always to me. I love you Grandma... forever..

So.. here we go.. onto the next phase of my life.... Grandma... I'm going to love this phase.
