granddaughter

[baconbits]

 Just a short 8 more days and things should be finalized there. I keep praying that nothing happens like with our grandson. I don't think I could make it if it did. We have raised her since she was just 3 days old. She's got a lot of her mother in her but there are parts that I'm assuming are her father whom we never got a chance to know before he was killed.

It seems so strange to realize that we are really starting all over with raising kids. This is so different from foster kids in that we know they will be leaving one day. But she's staying. Forever. We may be 63 when she graduates from High School but I wouldn't trade this for anything. I just pray that my daughter never gets pregnant again because I just don't think she'll ever be able to raise a child and as much as I love Mya I don't think I could go thru the baby stages again. Once is enough for me. I congratulate all those moms that can handle raising baby's because it's darn hard work. Maybe if I was younger I'd think differently but I'm someone who likes her sleep. Who hates puke, dirty diapers (I am getting used to this). But I love seeing her as she struggles to learn to walk. Actually she's doing pretty well. She's got good balance but just another few weeks and she should be running
