I Am a Really Bad Grandma

Tweet

Let me begin by saying, I have been struggling with grief again since Christmas time. When I have waves of grief and grief brain I am not much good for anything. When all of my grandkids were babies, I crocheted them an afghan. Now Alex sent word by way of his brother Brandon that he hopes I am going to make one for Oliver. Well he mentioned it around Brandon and Brandon brought me the word. This isn't that he feels entitled, he is a very sentimental guy and he loved his blanket. When I first heard, I got excited and ordered the yarn and some new crochet hooks. Well it sat in a container for a couple months and then the shower and Christmas and then my grief hit again. I was at lunch with one of my best friends Irene and she offered to make the afghan for me. I jumped at the chance. We are actually French Canadian cousins so its not like she won't be related to Ollie. We met again the next week and I gave her the stuff. Within a week it was done and she brought it to me. I sent it over to Alex and Jess and they loved it. I fessed up that Irene had done the actually work but they were delighted, it isn't like they don't know her and at the shower she made them a very cute quilt she made. I do feel a little guilt but I just can't concentrate enough to follow a pattern right now,. I may need to get my medication upped to get through this. We are still buried under the snow and it has been brutally cold. Warmer weather is coming so we may get a little melt. soon. So glad to see everyone again. The picture is the afghan.
