Though with this much love, the kids are the winners.
I went to sleep in a silk negligee and woke up in flannel pajamas.
And he knows that receiving gifts is my love language.
I get to entertain her endlessly — and then I get to leave!
Especially when your grandchild lives far away.
She is softer, kinder, more loving.
