The Old Grandma

my great grandparents former home in LB, MS
poor baby asleep

Today we went to Mississippi again to visit my grandma, who Sean now calls "the old grandma"-lol! We followed Uncle Joey and Nanny (Uncle Joey's nephew was playing baseball in Gulfport) and then met my aunt and uncle at the hospital. Sean wanted to push every button in the room. He is super curious. Grandma looked much better, but told me that she has pneumonia which has me very concerned, but I didn't hear any coughing and she was sitting up. She still won't eat (only ice cream) which is another concern. Sean got scared when the nurse came in because he thought he was getting a shot. After we assured him that he wasn't going to be getting seen by a doctor, my uncle took him to the gift shop, where they bought him another toy! He got several toys from my aunt on Tuesday's visit.

After the hospital, Sean and I headed for the outlet mall and Nanny left to join Uncle Joey and my nieces. In the parking lot, we saw several Air Force planes flying overhead and I grabbed my camera to snap some pics. On the way home, I felt the sudden urge to take the Long Beach exit. My grandparents used to live in LB, as did my great grandparents. They all moved to LA from MS back in the 60's. I started to cry as I drove down the hwy. Sean was fast asleep, so I was alone with my thoughts. I found my great grandparents house (my grandparents also lived there for awhile) and I looked for the house that I remember visiting a lot when I was young (my grandparents house), but I had turned the wrong way. I almost went back, but could see very dark skies, so I headed back to the interstate into the clear skies. This has all been a very reflective time for me. I'm also blessed to have my grandma get to see Sean in person and not just from his photos.
