| Though this images is far from technically perfect, it is a full circle moment in my life that truly represents "motherhood". This is my 3 year old son Emmit gazing lovingly at his great grandmother, my Grandma Millie. She is an amazing woman who was an integral part of raising me. Being a child of divorce, I split time between my mom and dad's houses, and Gram's house was literally in the middle. We saw her every day, came home to her after school, and she really was my third parent. She will be 94 years old in October, and is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Visits are always pleasant, though sometimes she knows exactly who we are, and sometimes we are kind strangers. Regardless, I feel blessed that my son gets to know my Gram. |
