There is nothing that compares to the love I have for my little grand-children! I looked at some of their photos today and realized that for all the suffering of my life in some ways, GOD is good to me because I have two wonderful daughters and grandchildren! I looked at the photo of my youngest grandchild who at the age of about eighteen months put one foot on the rung of the dining chair and climbed right on the top of the table  and sat down amongst the Thanksgiving oranges and items! And sat there so very pleased with himself as he surveyed all of us as if to say, “there I showed you!” It is a precious photo.

And recently I met a new guy and we went on a couple of dates [ I am divorced you know, and so is he] and I decided I would tell him to begin with that I have grandchildren and decided that if that was going to be an issue I might as well as know that to begin with and not proceed with that relationship.  A woman may lose her husband in divorce but she does not divorce her children or her grandchildren, at least good women don’t.  I cannot speak for bad women. I am sure that you are aware as the news most recently pointed out that there are different kinds of women and sometimes men are looking for BAD women. I think most know what situation I am referring too, [my own second marriage that ended because of many reasons but one of those was that my then husband wanted a woman whom he himself called a “hooker” ] saying he took his role model from that se*xual harassment event of Bill Clinton; and of course the NY Governor just resigned because of his decision along that line, and who else has done that? History books are filled with notorious people it seems, and seems like seldom with the good kind of women.  Even in the movies the perversion of truth there that happens often makes it seem as if good women do not ever win. But in my heart of hearts, I know that those women who love GOD and who are honorable, do win! Proverbs 31: 30c is written, ” a woman that feareth THE LORD [GOD] she shall be praised.”

I think of the many so-called titles I have had in my work career: RN, Charge Nurse, Nurse Manager, Nurse Coordinator, Director of Nurses, Peer Review Coodinator, Trauma Nurse, ER Nurse, Clinic Nurse, and yet, the titles I liked best were simple: wife and NANNY, [grandmother] in my case. I am not ashamed of being a grandmother and I pray to always be a truly GRANDmother.
