Pain Filled Goodbyes

Life is so full of pain.

Today step grandson left with his mother. The woman is a real piece of work. I'll leave the details of the encounter in my brain. Needless to say it was memorable. Daughter's husband never took to the court to get a paper saying he'd stay. The mother will drop step grandson back off when he fails to live up to her expectations of how a son should act....

Left in the wake are 3 grandchildren crying over a lost brother. A father crying over his lost son. A step mother crying over her lost son, I didn't add the word step. She loves that boy like he's her own.

I'll see this little man back in life again, the next time his mother doesn't want him anymore. I left him with tears in my eyes, and I told him that I love him to pieces and that I'll be here waiting for him when he comes back. He asked me if I would still be his Yaya. I told him forever and ever, he'd never be alone, just close his eyes and Yaya will be in his heart.

What else could I say to a six year old boy who entered my world and became a part of the very fabric of my life.

Mr. Little Man, Yaya loves you - forever and for always.
