A blog for Claire

Wednesday, November 16, 2005

I got this image off Ted's blog. Photos are the only way I have of seeing their growth. I do love them and I do continue to miss each of them as well as their parents. I'll soon be on a road trip to Tallahassee with Rebecca (Daughter) and Nathan (her husband). We'll go right through Columbia again. I can dream.

You could say it's infrequent. Got a birthday card today from Ted. First contact in years. Good to see. Still miss them all, very much. Ted has a blog here as well. I won't link to it because I don't want to rock the boat. Maybe something good is coming. I hope so. I miss them.

Just because I don't post doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of them. I do so every day.

My son, Ted, has cut off all contact with his family, primarily with me, but effectively with all of us. A major consequence is that I am unable to have contact with my grandchildren, especially with Claire, nieta de mi alma. This is one of the most painful events of my life. I love my grandchildren dearly and missing them has caused me grief that is at times nearly unbearable. Friends I trust have told me to journal and to keep a record so one day she'll know I missed her daily. This is it.
