When You Get Grandchildren

I love my grandchildren so much it is nuts
I loved my children this much too, but it is a different love
This is a “I can be as crazy and friendly as I want” kind of love
It is a much more freeing kind of love
It cannot be explained; it must be lived
When you get grandchildren, you will understand
but not a minute before

I think you are right, Caren. Grandchildren are extra-special. I wish I could see mine more.

It is the BEST feeling in the whole wide world! Take how much you love being a mother and take it times ten.
