This week, I’m a 24x7 Grammy for my granddaughter’s highs and lows while her Mom & Dad take a well-deserved vacation. It’s just like we wrote in our book— asking Nori what she needs, being patient, learning more about her, texts with Dad regardless of time zone differences & listening for alarms at night. It’s not always easy but I am so grateful to be with Nori and her sisters!💙
