Years ago, I couldn't wait to become an Aana... and now I am one. What I've learned is I'm still me, only older.
I really wish my grandparents were around longer. Having lost my grandparents over the years, I think it would have been really awesome to have spent more time with them growing up. I'm thankful my kids got to know my Aana but unfortunately they didn't get to spend time with my Grandpa or Tata. And I think they were too young to get to know my Grandma before she passed. Sometimes, I just wonder what I may have missed.
But here is a side note on spoiling my grand babies. I hope my grand kids have tons of books or games or toys to play with and less Wii or Xbox time. We will definitely make time to go out for ice cream and have plenty of time to watch cartoons on lazy days. They don't need designer clothes or expensive gadgets unless we find them at a garage sale or thrift store at a fantastic price. Regardless of what they have or don't have, they will be hugged tight, smothered with kisses and prayed for often. I hope they grow up knowing they are spoiled by love rather than on materialistic things.
