Since COVID19 I have missed my grandbabies terribly. Occasionally the family would pull up to the curb outside my gate to visit from the car. You can see pictures like that from my birthday post. Yesterday in the afternoon I got an text from Megan asking if I would like to have dinner with the boys. OF COURSE I WOULD!! That evening they all went to In and Out for burgers and brought it along with a blanket and chairs to have a picnic out in the yard. It was the first time the kids had even been inside the gate for months. I got to enjoy their company and watch two crazy boys run and play like two crazy boys. And Lyla...what a doll! You can see in the pictures that I had my hands clasped in my lap. I clutched them tightly there the whole time to keep from reaching out to her. Especially when she began crawling over to my chair and pulling herself up to me. I talked to her and enjoyed her smile but kept my hands off. It seemed to me as if she was wondering "Why doesn't my grandma pick me up and play with me?" Believe me my darlin' I wanted to. We even got close enough to briefly take these pictures.
So while my Mother's Day did not include hugs and hands on play, it was a start and I enjoyed every minute of it.
