These past two weeks, life with grandma around was awesome. Somehow simpler, I couldn't explain why, though. I would do whatever to have her closer if I could, here with us and not almost 3,000 miles away. Mothers are an important piece of the tribe you need around when raising your kids and that piece is missing in my tribe.
Diego hugged her the other day and said to me: mama, grandma feels so nice and soft……. My goodness, those words warmed my heart and almost made me cry.
We didn't do much but every day felt kind of perfect, we ate out, we ate in, we hung out, we cooked a little, we went shopping, we watched TV together, we took Diego to his after school activities. She was just here, present in our lives.
