I Saw My Granddaughters Today

"I saw my granddaughters today," MeeMa said as she sat and relished the warm fuzzies that overtook her entire being.

With that, MeeMa decided she would lay down for a while after she took a shower - AND - bask in the glow of seeing her granddaughters today ... until she had to get ready to go to Domestic Abuse Survivors Group tonight. MeeMa also decided that she would let the warm fuzzies replace all the pain of the last four months, or at least as much as it could. She also reminded herself of many practical matters to continue to consider, but for this moment she was going to do what she could to heal herself.

"I saw my granddaughters today," MeeMa thought to herself over and over again, "Thank you, God - and all the other forces at work. I saw my granddaughters today."

MeeMa smiled, got up from her computer, walked to the bathroom, stepped into the shower, and thought, "Boy, my granddaughters were a great workout. Best workout in the world. They sure made me feel good. It was too good to hug both of them again. ... and the little one actually nestled right up to me. Oh, my oldest one, she is so good. So polite and funny. It was so good to tell her, 'I love you", "I missed you", and "We'll see you again', and to hear the same back from her. It was good to tell her that I wasn't broken like she thought. Hope I get to see them again, soon," she sighed and smiled like she hadn't smiled in months, "I saw my granddaughters today."

MeeMa rinsed off and got out of the shower. She put on clean clothes and went into her bedroom. She grabbed her knitting, put in "How to Train Your Dragon", and sat down to relax and relish how wonderful she felt; and then, she cried and cried happy, relieved tears.
