Mr. PINK & I are now raising our 7 yr old granddaughter ~ Her mother passed away when she was 4 due to an aneurysm & her father (Mr. Pink's son) is doing what addicts do.
This is not exactly what we had planned when we got married last year but she has been with us since February and we are doing pretty well.
She has gone from a somewhat insecure little girl who begged to not go to school everyday to a confident little lady who started school this week with the best attitude ever.
To quote her "2nd grade is the best because we get science books & new math books and Math has always been her favorite subject! I have the best teacher in the whole wide world and my best friend Madison, and Harleigh, and . . . and. . . are in my class and and"
She goes on for days.
When I see that beautiful blonde face & that chatting smile ~ I know that we did the best thing for her!
She is safe, secure and happy!
She told me once "ReeRee, Dad's medicine and beer sometimes makes him sleep all the time - i would just get up and watch tv and try not to wake him up. But i just couldn't sleep that much. I wasn't that tired."
I could go on for days about the things she tells me - but I think you get the picture ~ she's a lot healthier and happier and THAT's what matters!
Prayers for the best for your precious grandbabies too!
PINK HUGS,
Rita
