My grandchild is more complicated than it seems.
I gave my son up for adoption shortly after his birth.
I grieved but had to shut up about it....family secret. I kept the secret for years but then one day I just let it fly at a big dinner with all my relatives. Wow was that a scene....My dad left his place at the head of the table with food falling out of his mouth. He was so good at retreating at the first sign of any emotion.I have reconnected with my son and now his wife and family...
He calls me his birthmother....so I am a birth grandmother now.
I met the first baby a year ago and loved seeing that little boy, he looked so much like his dad (my son). It was very emotional for us all...tears in everybodys eyes. I spent so little time with these precious people.You see nothing is without pain.
I was determinded never to have childern because of all the mental illness in my family. Well this child (my son) sneaked through....
I was 18 and way too young to have any personal strength to assert my desires.
I am glad he was raised with two parents and had the advantage of being supported by established money.
I was too young yet to have anything in the bank.
I never did amass much money.
Where as he is doing well. I hope.
My father would have loved these little boys.
My dad got to meet my son. It was instant love. They were inseperable....
I found them to be roudy together. So much love waiting in each of them for eachother. It was incredible to watch.
My mom even liked my son.
She never liked me.
I was forever a disappointment for her.
but that's another story.Thanks for heralding my birth grandson's arrival.
