This past week has been awful, with both my adult daughters facing crises of one form or another. It sure is hard when your babies have grownup problems. Here is my beautiful red-headed almost-two granddaughter, which helps restore my joy. Maybe her smile will brighten your day as well.

She makes my whole day when she and I are together. I leave her exhausted, but as soon as I get home I miss her!

Mostly sweet, but sometimes that smile means she is up to something.

Thank you. My girls will be fine, and their problems will be resolved soon. One is a serious family health emergency, and the other is a job crisis, and both will be better soon. Just wish they could get through them without learning the hard way. Thanks for your words.

Dear Jennifer, I feel for you and I know how you feel. Just being there for them is all that is needed. Your grand-daughter is a real little cutie, no wonder you love being with her. Prayers all round for a joyful outcome to your daughters crises. Love Chris

Thank you. Joy cometh in the morning. I'm hanging on to that for them. And my granddaughter Riley brings joy to me always.

It is just too awful when our grown up children have problems. One feels so useless. They will get through it knowing they have a caring mum.

Thanks for those kind words. Neither of their issues were of their making, but they are dealing with them in a way that makes me proud of the women they've become.

She just makes me smile. I'm proud to say that she knows "thank you" "please" "you're welcome" and "excuse me" and knows when to say them. And I just melt when she says "love you Nana"

She is precious. Love the red hair. Nothing like having a hug from your Grand children to make you smile. Lllian

It does help mend my heart for sure. I get to take care of her one day per week usually and I love it. I'm tired at the end of the day, but we have a bond that I treasure so much.

It is hard to watch you children struggle, no matter what age. Sometimes, I think it is harder the older they get as there tends to be less we can do for them. Love the smile and the red hair! Hugs to you and prayers for your daughters.

Thank you. My girls will be fine, but it sure is hard watching them work through grownup problems. They are both strong, and will get through their issues. All I can do is step to the background and pray for them.

So precious, I just want to scoop her up and read her a story. They bring a lot of joy.

She would love it! The babysitter calls her Smiley Riley and says she's the book-loving-est child she's ever taken
care of. Her mom is a teacher and when they read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and get to the page where the bear sees the teacher, Riley leans forward and kisses the teacher. It's the sweetest thing!

Thank you. They'll get through their issues, I know, but it sure is hard to be in the background and let them work through it.

It is hard to see them facing issues that I can't help with. I want to keep them insulated and I know that's not possible, but I hurt for them anyway. They are both strong, and they'll get through these trials
