a dear friend about to be a Grandma!

It was time to speak with my old friend,

Sue about the upcoming birth of her first grandchild.

A tad overdue, hoping this miracle of a little girl

will be born on Thursday.

What can I say to my dear friend?

Nothing, because all those things people say,

"YOU ABOUT TO JOIN THE STUPID CLUB"

"YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE"

All this is true but I try not to say them because

the fact of the matter is, there are no words to 

explain well enough what is about to happen to her and Foe.

Sue and Foe has had one child, Scott who was 

baby boy's first friend.

Since they were three, they were friends and inseparable

for all their first few years.

As time went on, they remained friends but as 

things always happen, they added different friends

to the mix and distance drew them apart.

Just like the friendship of Sue and I.

We may not speak for weeks, sometimes months,

but when we do, it's like not time at all has passed.

We will always have a special bond because

of our boys and how she took Gypsy baby under

her wing and always had her when she could.

Gypsy and Sue also have that kind of bond.

I will never be able to thank her for all she did

for my own babies. If they would be at her house,

and requested ANYTHING to eat, she cooked it.

My kiddo's love fried chicken, but at my house,

you got Already cooked fried chicken.

I may have been a good Mommy but I put my

foot down when it came to messing up my kitchen

with frying chicken. I just was never good at it,

It would cook outside too fast, inside raw or

vice versa. Sue, sue cooked perfect fried chicken

and gypsy, she only wanted Ms. Sue's fried chicken for

many years, and if she asked, she got it.

To be honest, I even visited when Sue fried chicken!

We still also love, love, love her crab and shrimp patties….

 Okay, back to the story.

Sue has always, like me loved and spoiled her

nieces and grandnieces, little cousins, all children

she had a bond with them all and spent much

time with them. Sue is a special woman and

so deserves this child.

"FOR THIS CHILD I PRAYED"

Boy I bet she did lots of that.

 Sue and Foe, about to become grandparents

to their very first grand DAUGHTER!!!

Yes, a girl, just spoke with Sue and told her this

baby don't have a chance, she won't walk until the

day she starts school, from going hand and arm to arm.

Hopefully on Thursday, they will have their sweet

little girl, a grandchild they never thought they would

have. No one deserves being grandparents.

It's a good life, when grand babies come our way.

good luck to you all!!! 

Love from some of your old pals!
