Am I Happy? Sad? Happy/Sad?

The happiest and saddest event happened to me today that I must share with you readers. The event happened something like this: Clay came over to me this morning as I was sitting in my rocker; he looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his, and said, "I will be coming here to see you and to eat supper with you a lot." Then he continued, "but, I won't be staying; I've got to go to school tomorrow." Then he gave me the biggest hug imaginable! You may ask, what was the happy part and what was the sad part. Well, I was so happy to get such a big sweet hug; happy that he seemed happy about going to school; but, I was sad to think that he and his sister are old enough to start school, even if it is only Preschool. They grow up so fast! I thought Clay seemed a little sad that he wouldn't be coming over to spend the day with me, at least for awhile.

To top it all off, Livvy had to come over, look at me with a slight grin on her pretty little face, and say, "Would you let me tie your shoes for you again?" I told her to have at it. She really ties a beautiful bow (I can tie a pretty bow but I'm not so meticulous as she is; if it's not right she has to do it over. In fact, she wanted to practice on one of my chair cushions that ties).

Do you have grandchildren? I know you love yours as much as I love all 8 of mine! If you get a chance when they are little, I hope you will enjoy them too. Pretty soon, they will be grown and getting married, just like my oldest granddaughter will be doing in a few weeks! eek!
