So what is it about being a grandma? Is it the lessons you learned while being a parent? The What if's the Should've's the Maybe's and the Would've's? Well for me it seems to all be just about seeing your kids enjoy your mom in a way that you remember doing as a child once long ago but haven't done since claiming your independence. Since staking a claim on your life as an adult. Since telling yourself that there was more than what you had in the confines of your childhood home. Since venturing out on your own and declaring that you would do it all differently given the chance. Since finding out that what you had wasn't all that bad anyway and that you maybe should've cherished that time you had as a child with a parent who did a pretty good job with you after all...
Dauphin Island, Alabama with oma here at our favorite Shark spot. We have to take a picture here everytime we travel out to the island. On my parent's very first trip to Mobile my dad and Kenny were standing underneath the shark for a picture when a bird flew out of its mouth and scared Kenny half to death! My mother swears everytime she thinks about that day she starts to giggle and can't stop laughing! We think it will be one of those stories Kenny hears about for the rest of his life! One that we will have to share everytime we're at Dauphin Island, Alabama taking another picture with the Shark!
