I had a call from my eldest a few hours ago, who now has a third child. Just this week.
I am beside myself as to what this means. Obviously, since he has kept me up to date until about a month ago when the baby came prematurely, I was considered a part of this baby's life.
He wants to name her "Beverly" and he wants me to attend the ceremony. He is Christian and these things are important to him.
We only found out that we were so related about eight years ago.
I am not sure what to feel or do.
Being practical, it will cost me about two thousand dollars to attend, not including car rentals. BUT!!!But, this is my grand daughter and he wants to include me as a part of his family. This whole damn THING this is larger than I am. It is a part of my past and now my future.
I am scared, upon may levels.
I knew that once we had begun any kind of relationship, even though mostly online, some day this might happen.
I can not think of any reason for not to go dwon south and attending my grand daughter's Christening.
It seems that as soon as you begin to think that everything is settled, it is not.
Understand that I only found out about this young offspring, now over forty, about eight (I had to edit - not sure if I posted about this six or eight years ago, but it has been eight years since we began contact for reasons to many to expound upon here. Read back about eight years and you will find a lot about this new found relationship) years ago and his family and I have only met four times in the past.
