Happiness is...

[ Edited ]

When your 18 year old grandson comes to spend the night.  His sister is having a slumber party and his girlfriend was there so his Mom told him he had to leave. Okay so I wasn't his first choice. First choice was unavailable, but I was second choice! 🄰  We talked for about an hour,  he cleaned out the refrigerator, asked for the Wi-Fi password and took a quart of Gatorade to the den.  If he has time in the morning I shall cook him some eggs, chocolate gravy and biscuits.

It's been so long since one of my grandbabies have spent the night!

when I read "cleaned out the refrigerator",  I thought how wonderful your 18 yr. old  grandson cleaned your fridge for you.  Then I quickly realized the difference between "cleaned out" and "cleaned the fridge". ha, ha!

 

Glad you spent time with your grandson,

Thanks!  I have two gandbabies and he was my first.  I kept him a lot while his momma finished college.  We have a special bond.

He didn't call till around 10pm, He got here and hour later.  Talked an hour and he went to bed.  So did I.  Next thing I heard was his loud truck pipes outside my bedroom window.  He's gone lol  You know, it hurt at first when they got older and involved with friends, school activities (especially my granddaughter) and work (grandson).  But I finally learned to accept that it's just life and I had to accept it.  Can't tell you how many times I told them not to grow up but they did it anyway Smiley Sad
