Our Grandlittles live in Ireland now.
Yeah.
I am sooooo not talking about it.
They are far, far, far away.
Far.
Far.
FARRRRRRRRR.
Away.
That particular fact is soooo NOT adorable.
However.
This little story is.
I decided to make Mo, the youngest one, a nightgown.
She informed me on face-time recently that the last one I made her was getting small.
I told her it wasn't the nightgown getting small...it was her getting big.
GULP.
(did I mention they live far, far, far away now...sniff, sniff)
I told her I would make her a new nightgown.
I asked her Mom for measurements.
She started texting some my way. Waist. Belly. Length.
Then I got a text that read:
3"
Hmmm.
"Three inches?" I wondered to myself.
What could possibly measure 3"?
I sent a text back for clarification.
"Smile is 3 inches..." was the text reply from our daughter-in-law...
"When she thinks of you."
A three inch smile when she thinks of her Grandma?
Awwww.
Awwwww.
See?
I told you it was adorable.

Ahh, a big smile when she thinks of Grandma. That would melt any grandma's heart!
ReplyDeleteBIG aawww! That would melt my heart!
ReplyDeleteadorable! three inches indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so hard to have grandkids so far away - can't even imagine...
ReplyDeleteAaaahhhh. That is adorable. I know what it is to have grandkids far away. Every other day I think of going home then my depression sets in. Thank goodness for Skype. Austin, the baby, stills knows me and chews on the I-pad as I talk to him. He cries when his mother takes it away. Don't know if it is me he doesn't want to give up or his chew toy? Glad you're making a nightgown for your granddaughter. Make it flannel xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteAwww. I feel for you. I've had the grands live far, far away for 5 yrs and it was tough. They did look forward to parcels in the mail. It was before facetime or anything of that nature and that is how I stayed in touch.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed very adorable!
ReplyDeleteI bet those kids miss you like crazy. And I know you miss them at least that much…
ReplyDelete=)
Yes, it's really adorable, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSO adorable:) I know you miss them terribly! Sending hugs your way! 3" smile, precious!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Bring on the tissues!
ReplyDeleteAren't you so very glad that we have such wonders are FB and emails so we can be a part of our family's lives when they are soooo far away!

It seems that you are feeling better if you are able to complain that your grandlittles are living so far, lol (3 inches !)
ReplyDeleteThe most adorable thing I've read in ages. Love it. Love to you. Hope you are on the road to feeling well.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Hi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteLoved your story, and I am sure that lil one misses you very much, and
what a nice thing for her Mom to do to let you know.
Sorry you still have no answers,
still praying for that...........
hopefully soon hon,
blessings, Nellie
Maybe a visit from those adorable children would be a good thing for an ailing grandma?
ReplyDeletejust sayin...
That grandlittle of yours is ADORABLE! Kids have a way of growing up on you when you aren't looking. Make her a cap and tell her to not take it off. Maybe, that will keep her small a little longer. At least that's what I wanted for mine. :D
ReplyDeleteVery adorable. Sounds like she misses you just as much. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Oh so cute!
ReplyDeleteM :)
Awww, that made your tender granma's heart smile too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a smile to be missed to be sure (said with an Irish brogue :-)
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for skype, email and instant messaging to make the distance seem less.
Perfect story for a new beginning of the alphabet round...Glad you shared it and happy you are hosting it again! http://lauriekazmierczak.com/life-in-a-slow-lane/
ReplyDeleteI bet it's really three miles!
ReplyDeleteLove you to pieces,
Meri
I bet that three inch smile was like a dose of good medicine!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Your story put a smile on my face. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the same 3" I get when checking in on FaceTime or coming up the escalator into baggage claim - grandgirls waiting with hugs and smiles. Nuthin' like it.
ReplyDeleteJenny you are going to get well so you can fly across the ocean and visit those beautiful growing grand little! A beautiful story about a beautiful girl. Hugs, Anne
