Surprise! Here I am. Finally got to see them again. It was surprising how easily we began to interact again. They are wonderful children. My heart lept up. I am so grateful. I do love them so.
¶ 8:13 PM
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.
