My youngest grand daughter has a birthday coming up. I am notorious for sending presents that don't arrive on time. Partly due to needing to have energy, time and money far enough in advance to purchase a gift, wrap it and mail it out, partly due to not knowing what my grand children have or want or need, I just seem to struggle with the whole present thing.
Ideally I would like to be able to be with my grandkids on their birthdays. In my fondest wishes, that is what happens. I suddenly am given either a huge pot of money or a "fly free anywhere anytime" ticket so I can do that. The reality is that I am isolated from my sweeties and don't get to see them often.
I have tried scyping and webcamming, but somehow those things don't work out well. Besides, I hate to disrupt their household routines and I am never sure when its a good time to call. Silly, I know. I end up texting and calling to connect in those ways, but it is a far cry from hugging my babies and kissing their soft cheeks.
I am determined that my youngest will have her gifts on time. They are in the process of moving to a new apartment, so I send the box to my in-laws' address and let my son know where he can pick it up. Really, I have to work on this Gramma thing. There simply has to be a better way.
