The Grandchildren

Through the magic of Face Book I am now able to see pictures of my daughter and her family because their pictures are open to view by friends, as well as friends of friends. There are about 6 people who are friends with me and also with my daughter. From afar and from the pictures of these two little cuties, it seems like life is going well. They took a trip out of town last weekend and posted a lot of pictures of two happy little children. I am hoping and praying that the pictures correctly display what is really going on. Only time will tell. I have actually come to the conclusion that I am fine with never beeing able to see my precious daughter again or meet her kids, as long as I know that they are doing fine. Amazing, how recovery changes your outlook in life. My controlling, enabling attitude has totally vanished. Serenity and peace are what I am striving for.

I'm glad that you have this small window in which to see your grandchildren. I have one grandson who I absolutely adore! About a month ago I was pretty much cut off from being a part of his life by the "baby momma" who is attempting to punish me for visiting my son in jail, which she calls defending and enabling him. It hurts me deeply that she is doing this to me when I feel I've always been there for her, but it is what it is for the time being. I've made my mind up that I'll have that relationship again after my son gets out of jail and gets his rights to his son, who he loves with all his heart. As Dawn said, we don't know what the future will bring...good things for all I pray! Praying for you, your daughter and your grandchildren. Kristi

I envy you so much that you have been able to do that. I just do see me ever getting there but I know it is possible. I am sure glad you get to see pictures.
