…because this Mother’s Day was “great”: I have a wonderful daughter and a wonderful husband… but it was also sad for me, I felt unconnected to my own mother… I miss her. I needed some mothering myself this Mother’s Day.
So I’ve been posting at the local recreation centers and the local grocery stores… next up is the Garden Club. I’m staying positive and hopeful, the weather is warm here in the Northeast and the nice weather is always good for getting out and meeting people! I’m waiting patiently (or is that patiently impatient?) for our surrogate grandparent(s). We know you’re out there!
Let me know what you’re doing while (im)patiently waiting for your family to arrive?
From time to time, I check on the little piles of flyers that I’ve printed and left at various locations, and it’s heartening to see that people are interested enough to take some of them. In fact, there’s only one left at the community center near me, so I’ll need to print more. I also keep checking the forum here to see if I’ve gotten a response–not yet–but I’m trying to be patient. I am SO ready for grandchildren. Our house and yard are kid friendly, and I’ve made a lengthy list of fun stuff to do in and around town.
So c’mon Families without Grandparents–check out the forum and leave a post–you might find the extended family of your dreams!
Oh I wish I could find someone like you around our town. We so need you
