For well over a decade, she was known as Grandma Diane to all her grandchildren. When Lydia learned to talk, her language got confused and Grandma Diane became christened as “Grandma Diamond.” The name has stuck in our little family, and I never tire of hearing Lydia’s little voice talk excitedly about her Grandma Diamond.
When Grandma Diamond went home to California last week after a fun-filled visit, Lydia was sad — oh, so sad. She awoke after Grandma had already left for the airport, ran through the house looking for her, and was heartbroken to learn she wouldn’t get to eat breakfast with her that day. She told me she missed her “best friend” and that she loved when Grandma Diamond played with her and snuggled with her.
Grandma Diamond is a very special grandma. She takes time to talk and play. She does hair, reads books, snuggles, makes jokes, brings presents, and holds hands. She doesn’t mind being inconvenienced to make a grandchild happy. She pays attention to her little devoted fans, and they just soak it up.
We miss her!

Those pictures are SO sweet! And I can’t believe how big your “baby” is now! Holy cow–tell her to stop growing already.
