Being called Grandma is one of the biggest miracles of my life. 
NOTE: Photo above is me as a child and Katherine currently
In my first marriage we tried for 10 years. Various plans, locations, pills and shots. As a Type A goal-setter….this was a monthly broken heart for me.
I’m able to get my masters degree but I can’t have a child? I can run marathons….but no family for me?
What? Why? How? Why not me?
Again and again and again.
Then finally a divorce. Not necessarily related to this but I’m sure an ongoing factor.
Then six years in the dating zone…. One year surviving 29 first dates with 29 different fellas. 
Then finding the right one! 
finally.
No babies for me….but I get the gift of Grandma.
So yes I cherish this word. This title, this role. I don’t wanna be called GiGi or any other name. Grandma. A great gift!
Being able to FaceTime with this one…. Priceless.
Update from June 2022: And now I am a Grandma to William too~~
