it seems as though there are a lot of changes under way here. I became a grandmother again on Saturday with the birth of Arianna Eilzabeth Masse Marinone. She is beautiful, 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and I hope to meet her this weekend when my daughter, granddaughter Kiley and I head to Connecticut for a wedding shower. My heart soars with the possibilities for this sweet bundle.
But this is also such a heartbreak.
My son and the baby's mother, Chris, are not together. I do not know Chris - I only met her once - and I understand that her financial situation is dire. It breaks my heart but I know that she cannot rely on my son, Mark, for assistance of any kind. What is this baby's future, I wonder. How much of a role will Chris allow the rest of Mark's family to play in her life.....
I am terrified that I will not get to know this baby girl nor will she get to know me and mine.
This baby has four uncles, four aunties, and several grandparents, two half-brothers and cousins, that are ready willing and able to shower her with love.
Well, today I will make contact and hopefully begin to build a bridge of love to that sweet baby.
I also start today with a new editor. I am broken-hearted that I have lost the editor that I had been working with for the past three years. This new journey will be interesting...
I also start a new resolution to only work my assigned hours. No more 12-14 hour days. No more working on my day off and my weekend off. ha....this one I'll have some real trouble with....

Many changes ... I am sure you will work them all out, because you always do! I am with you on that not working 12 hour day thing!!
I hope that it all works out with that sweet baby.
Good luck to you.
