I want to go to Denver.
It is October, and the Christmas break is beginning to call to me -- a stretch of time when my heart tells me that I could get in my car and drive... until I could get my grandson in my arms and look into his baby face and smell his baby smell and listen to him laugh.
It isn't going to happen. No way will I ever be given permission to make that drive. But knowing that doesn't change the way it feels. I want ...

He loves you..why wouldn't he give permission...K
ReplyDeleteyes.....why wouldn't he encourage you to go and see that precious grandson of yours? what a sweet, darling baby.
ReplyDeleteThere are financial burdens that make the cost of flying prohibitive and He's very afraid to have me drive it alone. I wish it were different but it isn't. He isn't being unkind. He worries and He cares. Life is the way it is.

Master has spent a good chunk of His day figuring out how I could make the trip to Denver by bus. It works with our schedule and the cost is do-able. I may yet get to go do this, and I feel very grateful that He was so willing to invest time to help me find a way.
ReplyDeleteI love You, Sir,

Ahhhhhhh...I knew it..as a Grandmother the call is not to be denied..plus, from all these years of reading ..first the swans heart..and now the heron clan...I just knew he would come through..a true gentleman! K
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! I just got to see a sweet nephew for the first time - just about that age. Oh, what a love affair! The smell, smile, and great belly laughs! I'm his forever - and it's not even a grandbaby... You do so well being such a mature grownup about being faraway, and being responsible until it's time. I'm sure it's so hard. Sometimes you just want to be selfish.
ReplyDeleteI understand your longing, and am so very glad that you will get to go!
