My beloved grandson is visiting!

 The first day

    I  woke early and waited, doing the last few preparatory things and what a joy and delight it was when he did arrive!

    He arrived at about 8am with Ryan, Riaan's colleague. We hugged downstairs and brought his stuff upstairs. We sat down next to each other on the couch and just enjoyed being close. Then I started my lesson and he had a phone chat with his mom. He said hello to Aunty Nicola. Then I found out that my mom had been taken to hospital. I advised everyone and Juan-Dre and I got a bolt to go and see her. She was ok. The dr came while we were there and said mom will have xrays etc which will take a couple of hours. Juan-Dre was a bit uneasy at the hospital so we didn't stay long. He has now gone to play with Connor.

    He is growing up into such a fine young boy. He's not a little boy anymore, but he said he will always be mine, forever.💓

   He's such a sweet young boy now. He offered to walk to the shop with me because I was tired. He fell asleep on the sofa and I carried him to bed and then realized I was carrying this big boy and he said "I don't want you to hurt yourself". Wow. New and beautiful behaviours from my beloved grandson.❤️ Then, how sweet, both our phone alarms went off together at 7.15 for our nightly Zoom chat and bedtime prayer meeting. But he was here - he is here! I'm so grateful!

    Day 2

Today he slept late, had breakfast, we chatted a bit and I walked him up to play with Connor again. I don't know what happened to his toothpaste, but he found out he really dislikes my homemade toothpaste and has declared he will not use it again. Apparently, it's too salty.

    I am going to see my beloved mother in ICU at 2pm. I hope to pray Shacharit with a friend until then.
