I still blog about him all the time and my other grandkids. One day, I’ll tell my story about my real adult son. [Blog description:] “Dressing in layers these days, this 'hip' GrandMom is in the midst of menopause and raising a preschool grandson! She’s all of 53 years old and a couple of years ago, she took on the roll of 'Mommie…Again' hence the name of her blog.”
