Allready There - Grab the Kleenex!

While listening to music tonight a song came on that brought my daughter to mind and in turn to my precious grandchild. It's on the play list here on my blog - Lonestar's "I'm Already There". If you have never heard it, find it and listen (it's number 43). If you have then you understand; if you know the song and our story, then you know where I'm going. To my beloved and cherished daughter - "Grab the Kleenex sweetie" :) and remember, I Love You.

For those of you that do not know our story; my daughter and I spent a great deal of time apart (far apart in distance). A great deal of our "Mother/Daughter" time was spend via the telephone and mail. And now it will be the same with my grand daughter and then some :( of course my child has video and such now which we didn't have back then which will make it easier. Dang! where was that stuff back then? :) It's a good thing my mind is like a steel trap (where my daughter is concerned) and all the memories are there for me see again and again whenever I want (some I'm sure that she wishes I would forget or at least not repeat - ha, ha).

Katie, I want you to know that the lyrics of this song were true then, now and forever. Where ever you are - "I'm Already There". And of course like it has been from day one, no matter what, if you need me I'm just a phone call away and if you need me there I'll be there. This sentiment now includes Madison and Jason.

For those of you who don't have children, I hope that one day you will be blessed with them and all the wonderful, scary, rewarding and yes even difficulty that comes with them. It is by far the most important and gratifying thing that can happen to anyone. I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world and not even for the chance to be with Sean Connery :) ha, ha.

Have a wonderful day and don't forget about Father's day in June :) Daddy's need love and recognition too. And Kat, you were definitely blessed with a wonderful, one of a kind Dad - so treasure him.
