Actually, it's been a couple of days. We had the granddaughters spend the night last night. The oldest is 5 years old and the second one is 10 months old and is still being breast fed. That in itself is a challenge. Mommy had to make sure she had enough milk to supply me for the night and today. That was well taken care of. Both granddaughters had a cold as did mommy. Daddy was in Toronto, so this rather worked out for mommy. She was able to have some time all to herself, without having to run after her girls. And it was truly appreciated.
This meant that I had two days of no working with fibre and man am I missing it. But yet I didn't miss it because I got all the loving and kisses and cuddles from the two best granddaughters in the world. There is nothing better than the honest and sincerest loving from those two wonderful little munchkins.
I never knew what was missing in my life until I became a grandmother and held that tiny little being in my arms. I realized that there had been a hole in my heart that just got filled by this innocent little child. She was perfect.
Don't get me wrong; for 28 years I thought my life was complete the day my daughter was born. She was the joy of my life and I would have given up my life for her at any given moment. I thought that I didn't need anything else to fill my heart with the love that my daughter did. But I was wrong. My heart was filled, but there was still a little bit that was empty. Not anymore. With each new grandchild, that hole got filled up and I was complete.
So part of my journey to the golden fleece will be dedicated to the three most important women in my life, my daughter, and my two granddaughters,
