I distinctly object to tears. Tears are
scientifically described as a secretion. I can
understand that a secretion may be healthy or
unhealthy, but I cannot see the interest of a
secretion from a sentimental point of view.

Mimi took a few on the nose last night. One blow actually drew blood...as Liam and I bonked head to nose. OUCH!!!
The other was more figurative. Liam drew blood by accident...his head is quite a bit harder than my nose. The tears that resulted...for who doesnt cry when ones nose gets bonked...were quickly dried as I sat and commiserated on my toilet seat with toilet paper stuck up there to curb the flow . Who can feel bad for long when sweet Liam came looking for me to tell me he was sorry and imparted a tender kiss. This random kind act by this adored grandson brought even more tears for I was really just sitting there feeling quite sorry for myself and none of it due to physical pain. The reason for this self pity you might ask......It's all about changes!!! Nothing ever stays the same does it?
My bloody nose may have stopped oozing quickly...But I can see now that my heart will always need first aide while we wade through life with our kiddies and their kiddies.
Its such a blessing being a grandma...
But I feel the dam bursting...so much is changing for our family...
And my heart bleeds as did my nose last night.

Wow! That is awesome for Natalie and Joe! I'm sorry Aunt Cindy, I'm sure that will be hard. I know I'm going to be sad when Jared and I eventually move away for grad school. You are a great example!
