OK, hold your applause. The next installment of the long awaited Gran Report is here. Actually, I have been stalling on this posting because I wanted to have a good story about giving blood for Annie. Well, trust me, you do not want to hear the details on that adventure. And, worst of all, when everything was over, they couldn't use my blood donation for Annie. Seems there is some viral thing that sneaks into one's blood if you've had time to be exposed to it and preemies can't handle that. As Snoopy would say. AAArrrggghhh!!! Oh well, someone somewhere will be getting an infusion of Top Lady blood cells and I wish them luck. (Do you think this a subtle way of letting me know I'm getting old? No way --- right?)
In lieu of that adventure, however, Gran would like to take advantage of her Senior Advisor status (see, I told you I was getting old) and comment on something Elly mentioned in an earlier post. She talked abut being scared. Well, I have something to say -- It's alright to be scared! Like it or not, that seems to be a part of the human condition. My advice is to think of it as a challenge to God. There are a whole bunch of things we can't handle by ourselves, so it's time to lean on Him and let Him do His stuff. That's perfectly all right. I'm prepared to sit here and applaud my head off.

Amen to that! I so needed to read that today. God is Amazing!!! I find comfort in the post and it is reassuring that it is ok to be scared. I will remember that when I have those days.
I read Annie's blog everyday. I saw Annie today but very briefly since Jaeden had so many visitors today but I will make it my business to say Hi to the fiesty one tomorrow. God Bless her and her family!!
Double amen to that. And God bless Moms. Who see past their Type A grown up daughters and know when to give that scared little girl (in grown-up clothes) a hug. I pray I do the same for Annie (and Luke too!).
Thanks, Mom.
Elly
