Nana News

My granddaughter, Miss Z, is trying to understand with her little 3 year old brain that Daddy has gone to far, far away work for a long, long time. He deployed with his unit to Afganistan yesterday. It seemed she understood pretty well until she informed her mother, my daughter DK, that she was going to wait until Daddy got home before she went night-night. I wonder if they slept last night.

My heart just aches for them but there is nothing I can do for them but pray. As a matter of fact, I have just about everyone I know praying for them.

On the other front, my son DA and daughter-in-law took in 3 foster children day before yesterday. They are ages 3, 2, and 1. Don't you know they are a handful! There is a possibility for adoption and I am struggling with when do I start regarding myself as their Nana? Is there a rulebook somewhere that I can consult? You will find that I'm not much of a roll with the punches kind of a person. I'm a control freak with nothing to control, how frustrating!
