There is a passage in the Bible that as a parent I never thought in a million years would affect me but as my children have grown I have found it to be truth. It talks about when a man meets a partner that they will leave the mother and father. As a parent I have prayed a lot about the person my son would leave me for… and this is her, Kai. The thing I wasn’t expecting is how close she would come to us for us to know her child, our grandchild. I don’t know many people I would stay a week with but she has come twice now to our house for a week, each time without my son. She has given my husband and I one of the greatest joys of my life. I would not have the relationship that I have with my granddaughter without her willingness to close the gap, going the distance, taking the flight and being comfortable enough at our house to let us know her. I am forever grateful for this relationship and I truly believe that God has given my son a wonderful partner as well as an exceptional mother for his child.
