Mommy, I still have two grammas!!
Journey misses her 'bump gramma' terribly, and talks about her all the time. We often muse about what she might be doing in heaven or how she would love to be here to see Journey riding a two wheeler or going to school ... A few weeks ago at church Journey met a lady who reminded her of bump gramma. Something about her hair ...
Anyway Journey just fell in love and wanted to sit on her lap and snuggle with her (a perfect stranger, really!!) and told me she loved her so much she could just LIVE with her. The lady told Journey she could call her 'gramma Stickel' and took our number telling Journey she'd call her sometime and they could have tea or something. Journey could not stop talking about her and asking if we could call her and invite her over. She was so excited to have two grammas again! I tried to hold her off not knowing quite how to handle the situation or how involved the lady really was willing to be... Then we ran into her again at the museum days .. she was churning butter as a demonstration. Journey kept asking to go back to that display and just wanted to hang out with gramma Stickel the whole time. When we were going to leave for the day she insisted on going and giving her a hug good-bye. She took our number again and promised to call Journey. Then last night when we got back from rehearsals there was a message on our phone inviting Journey to go golfing in the morning. She was THRILLED. And despite some clouds and a few spats of rain Journey and 'gramma' Stickel went off to do nine holes of golf at our local course. Please pray with us that this will be a helpful, hopeful relationship for the both of them. (and every one involved)
