Well, it’s big news to us anyhow. Here’s a hint…
No, they are not for me but for my beautiful granddaughter (yep, I’m a grannie), Ylaiza (pronounced Eliza) Lynel Obana.
Isn’t she gorgeous? Born on November 2, 2008, she is the daughter of my youngest son, the Produce Guy, and his ex-girlfriend. It is a complex situation but we are looking past all that and focusing on her. We are all happy she is here and healthy, all the important things. Everything else will work out...somehow.
It’s tricky, letting your kids lead their own lives, even though they are grown. I still call my sons, the boys, though they are 24 and 22 in ages. Certainly, that doesn’t make them old men, but it doesn’t make them children either. At their ages, their father (the Mailman) and I had been married for a couple of years and living on our own for a few. We didn’t have kids until our 30’s. That wasn’t totally by choice. A couple miscarriages slowed down our family but it all worked out alright.
The Produce Guy is happy about it all and ready to take on the pleasures and pressures of parenthood. But the complications of the situation don’t allow him to fully engage in it all. Heck, it took a DNA test to clear up some stuff. I told you it was complicated.
So, focusing on the blessings of it all, here are some more pictures of our little beauty.
I can only hope your holidays are as blessed as we are. May joy fill your New Year!!!!
