I know this isn't a news flash about pregnant women, but I have been very emotional lately. Last weekend Jeff and I drove up to his parents to get there mail for them (they're in Florida), and I got really emotional of course I started crying. I didn't let Jeff see that I was crying, because he thinks I have enough mood swings as it is. I started thinking about my great grandmothers, and Jeff's grandparents that are no longer with us. I know this sounds a little strange, but I was very close with my GG's and Jeff was extremely close with his grandfather Pepe. I guess I started to think about what they taught us and the impact they had on our life. My sister's and I were fortunate enough to have two of our GG's live in the same block as us and one in the next town. I think back to all the songs my Nanny Bo use to sing us and Nanny Malson and her wonderful back massages. I guess you take things for granted until later in life you realize there not there anymore and how much you miss them, then you would do anything to get them back. Even though all my GGs meant a lot to me my Nanny Bo was probably the most influential in my life, and it makes me sad to think that my child will never now the great women that were the foundation of our family.
Jeff had wonderful grandparents that he was very close to. I was never lucky enough to meet them, but from what I hear they were the best. I know Jeff misses playing golf with his grandpa, and watching Wheel of Fortune. I can say our child will also be blessed with wonderful great grandparents and wonderful grandparents too.
