I am excited to be writing about being a Nana. I write some other articles about being a mom of teens, a stay at home mom, and a mommy blogger, and now I get to write about being Nana!

"I Am Going to Discipline You Now. OK?"
I know that this may cause some uproar among parents of small children, but this topic is one that I think must be addressed.
I will call it the "OK?" debate. Note the question
mark. These two little letters followed by the question mark are
infiltrating our homes, schools, playgrounds and activities. I,
personally, don't think it is so "OK."

I heard some very sweet words today from my 2-year old grandson. Words
that make me feel very special. He said, "Grandma, do we have to keep
playing this game?"
I know you must be thinking, "What? Those aren't 'sweet' words." So let me give you a little background.

A few decades ago, West Virginian Marian
Lucille Herndon McQuade had an idea that turned into a mission. Her
mission gained local momentum. Then state momentum. And finally, with
help of civic, church and political leaders, Marian saw her idea pass
into legislation by the United States Congress… and in 1978, the Grandparents Day proclamation was signed by President Jimmy Carter.

I always knew that my mother-in-law's passing would be unthinkably sad and difficult. She was, after all, the matriarch of of family. She was not only a Mom, but a Nana. She was the kind of Nana that kids dream about. She was a Nana who knew everything about cooking, baking, sewing, mending, creating. She knew everything about babies and kids. She knew how to laugh. She knew how to tell jokes. She knew how to listen. She knew how to wear fabulous jewelry. She knew just what gifts to buy. She knew how to lift your spirits. But most of all, she knew how to love. It is the loving that we will all so desperately miss.
