alone, alone, alone, oh so alone

Noah should have stopped in Yorkton and left by now so that his aunty Becky could see him one more time, and that is as long as Chris and I have been here by ourselves and it feels like forever. When Ben left it wasn't to bad because Noah was still here, but now that Noah left too, it makes me realize how big a piece those two boys take up in my heart. I have only been without a grandson for 3 hours and I am getting sniffly just thinking about them. I better get some " aww, poor baby" out of all this misery, and in my mind I want to feel some arms around me, making me feel better. I will let you know if it helps. I got to go get busy with something, alone with my thoughts is not helping just now.

Uncle John, If you go to church tomorrow, You can hold me for while. I know I'm not Ben or Noah, but I'm a pretty good little snuggler and I'll try to make you feel better!

If you want I can send Ben to you on the bus. He's driving me nuts. I think he might be suffering some withdrawl symptoms from over the holidays just like you. (How do you spell withdrawl?)

Becky, how can that sweet boy drive you nuts. He just walks around spreading cheer into the hearts of people he meets. You need to move closer, so that when he drives you nuts, you can tell him to go to graaandpa's house.

Yes shame on you, but I'll forgive you because you are after all..old. It's June 3rd and I bet you don't know that I will be 45 on my next birthday. That is really old. And Ken's birthday is the same day as Becky's so that one is easy to remember. I hope you have a great day anyway.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!
Mommy says she'll send me on the bus too. I'm driving her BONKERS! It's my first day back and Mommy and Daddy forgot that I need to be played with EVERY WAKING MOMENT! I just wander back and forth between them yelling at them to pick me up and give me all the attention I got used to you giving me.
Sigh....I sure miss you.
