    Being a Grandma

    Well my daughter and two grand children made it back home after 14 hours of driving time. The 5 year old was so heart broken leaving grandma's house (which is me). I though maybe she will be fine after leaving the house but she stop crying and then again for about 20 minutes she cried really hard in the car wanting to go back to my house.

    Well they are home now and really afraid to talk with her. I don't want to get her upset and crying again. I love her so much and it just breaks my heart to see her like this.

    What can I say that won't cause her to cry again? This is so hard on her, she really loves coming down but the leaving part is so painful for her. Is there anything I can do to ease her pain. I tried to be joyful with her but it comes back I want to come back to your house.

    I pray that they can soon be station closer to us and my daughter and husband is trying to do this. I can't fly and I can't drive that long which makes it worse.

    It is just heartbreaking,
    Hugs, Trishann

      Thank you Ronda, talk with my daughter and the little one is still very sensitive. They have school tomorrow, she goes to pre-school, maybe getting back into a routine will help her, I sure do hope so.

      Her daddy is oversea right now and hopefully be back home in 6 weeks. I just think maybe being with family helps her cope with daddy being gone too. It just she don't have family down there and I think she miss being without family. I think she just miss being around people that love her so much. I know Mom love her very much but she has to deal with everything else too since her husband is gone.

      I just pray they can get station down here closer to us. It is so hard on these little ones to be so far away from family.

      Hope you are having a good day today. Hope things are better for you.

      Sending hugs, Trishann

          Has she always cried like that when she left? Maybe with her dad being gone things are much harder for her. Aaaw, it is so hard to see them cry. How far away do they live? Maybe writing her everyday or sending a card once a week would help some. I seem to cry whenever people leave that I care about. Think it is because most leave and never come back. Maybe she is afraid she won't see you again? I hope she gets to feeling better and stop crying. When I babysat my niece (this is 11 years ago) every night my sister came to take her home she would cry big time. I would have to put her in the car seat. I would tell her she would be coming back the next day but she had to go home and see daddy. That sure is hard to let them when crying.

            You must be a really wonderful Grandma, for her to miss you that much. Which doesn't surprise me at all, you have such a big heart.

            I am not a grandmother (my baby is just 12 years old), but I remember when I went off to college, my little sister was torn apart. We worked on it by sending packages back and forth, little gifts or jokes, whatever. But she was a bit older.

            You are right --it is hard to be far away from family. That's why we ended up settling in the same town with my parents. I hope they are able to move closer to you soon.
            Je vous souhaite de la joie, de la bonne santée, et tout ce qu'il y a de bon dans la vie.
            Wishing you happiness and good health, and all the best out of life.

            Peace, Carolyn

              I would write her a letter --- it's lots of fun for a child to get real mail --- and they love having someone to write to.

              Warm hugs,

                Ronda I hope your son will move close by you too and not move far away. I am glad that you are feeling better. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

                Mary and Donna that is a good idea about writing to her. Maybe it will be easier on her and she will know Grandma is not leaving her. Thanks for the great advice.

                Carolyn my granddaughter loves for grandma to buy her gum. She is really good about throwing the gum away afterwards. Giving her a small gift and gum is what she would want to have to put it in her purse. Thank you, that is another thing I will do.

                Thank you all for your kind words and for helping me finding ways that might ease her pain some. You all are really great.

                Sending hugs, Trishann
