Being a New Grandmother! NMR

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

As some of you already know, I became a grandmother for the first time

on March 8 when was born to my daughter Rose and her husband

Warren. You mght also remember that it was Rose who lived through

the World Trade Center attack. She saw so many horrors, so many people

jumped to their deaths right in front of her. I know this event has

changed her profoundly. She married in April, 2002, graduated law school

in May, and then got pregnant. Her husband Warren is an engineer with

the Dept. of Defense, and I know he is involved in the war on terror

(Warren cannot discuss any of his work with any of us. We have a family

joke that goes like this: Warren will say to us, " Well, alright, I'll

tell you what I am working on, but then I will have to kill you. " Yes,

black humor, I know!)

Little 's Chinese grandparents bestowed his middle name " Ping, "

which means " peace " in Mandarin. His first name is after my husband and

my father.

He weighed 8lbs.12oz., and is an absolute joy. As Cheng, his

grandfather, said, " This baby brings so much happiness! "

I am the only one, they say, who makes him chortle at my antics.

Then, on Mothers' Day, May 9, my other daughter , delivered little

Claire. It was a very difficult delivery; the baby's heartrate started

to plummet and they used that suction device. Little Claire ended up in

the NICU with a collapsed lung. Even though she weighed 8lbs.3oz., she

looked to me like a fragile china doll.

Thank God, she's home now, but sleeping very little, and crying very

much. is exhaused, but Drew is a very kind and considerate

husband, so I know things will work out. I would appreciate a little

prayer, as I know that these lung problems can occur again.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share this with you all, from

so many countries. In was the author Thornton Wilder in his play " Our

Town " who said that every birth is God's way of saying that the world

should go on.

Being a mother and a grandmother is a very great honor--and much fun,

too!

Wishing you all better health, and much joy...

Dear Alice,

What a beautiful way you have with words; alot of love

waiting.....reminds me of what we believe about the afterlife.

Thank you so much!

PS: How is your Dad doing after the great loss of your Mom?

[Guest guest]

My dad is doing especially well. He has bad times like when he went to

delete her medical records while cleaning up his computer and then couldn't

do it. Today is hard for all of us as this would be her birthday. I am just

very grateful for all the years we had together.

Thanks for asking.

Dear Laurie,

That is good news about your Dad. I hope he will get over the worst of

the dreadful loneliess. That happened to my mom when my father died. But

it was her grandchildren who got her to smile again.

I am sure on this, your mother's birthday, she is still looking out for

all of you.

Take care.

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

You are very welcome!

Hope the new job is going well, and even more salubrious than you had

first thought.

Take care.
