No One Ever Told Me...

     ​Earlier this year, I wrote a blog about my grandchildren being born and how amazing that experience had been.  Since then, it has been over 7 months, and I have to say that it keeps getting better and better.  I enjoy and love every minute with these amazing grandchildren.  They bring out the best in me and help me to want to be my best.  No one ever told me just how incredible having grandchildren was going to be.  
    In the photo above, I am with my three daughters, Miyoko (29), Manami (27) and Mimi (18) and my two grandchildren (Emi and Lincoln).  I have loved watching my daughters and their husbands raise their children.  Of course, I love being a mother, but being a grandmother is something so special and wonderful in unexpected ways.  I get to have a “do-over” and experience motherhood in a different and fun way. I get to change diapers, bathe, feed and play with these babies while having a special connection with them which is different from being their mother.  What a joy and blessing!  I’m so glad that no one ever told me how fantastic this was going to be, because I have been completely surprised and continue to be surprised by this new chapter in my life.  I am so grateful to God…
