Grandma , Nana or the best title ever!


I am privelidged to be a grandma to 6 beautiful kids. Josie , Chloe , Bronson , Kailia, Brooklyn , and Kavika. I think I have a different relationship with each one. Josie and Chloe were two I got to meet when they were older. I missed out on the little infant & toddler stage, but look out cause we are watching them in their diva stage. Bronson was like my own, living with me his first 3 1/2 years I got to see every FIRST! Kailia now has taken over that spot with her living with us, she has turned into the cutest little shadow I could ask for. Brooklyn is a mommys girl still but slowly feeling more comfortable coming to grandma to have some fun. Kavika is the newest one only a week old now has made his grand entrance into not only the family but into my heart. 
I know that every single grand child will be such a big part of my life because they are an extension of my own wonderful children. I see different qualities and features and personality traits that even there parents don't know about because they can't remember, but I can. I find myself holding them remembering and longing for a moment back with my own.  Then I quit boobing and realize that if that could be I wouldn't have not only grand kids yet but wonderful son in laws. 
I am blessed with something else, I get to share or they share with me, my grandchildren with other nanas, grandmas whatever they go by, they are a select elite small group of women I call friends and sisters. These women love my grand kids as much as I do. Which is a good thing because I don't trust my little angels to just anyone. 
They make sacrifices to drive long distances, ride a train, a plane, and one gets to see small glimpses on Facebook. Either way they share it's never enough time spent with our kids, grand kids, our in laws or even sometimes out laws. 
I speak for most of us ..... Our grand kids are our lives! We will always have an arm reaching out to hug, lips to kiss, a bed for them ( when mom and dad needs a break) and a heart  ready to love them. I am a grandma, I am a member of one of the best clubs EVER.
