“I’m here!!!!â€? I said happily as I walked through the door. A small little boy came running up to me with his arms open wide. His sandy blond hair rubbed up against my shirt. I quickly picked him up and gave him a large hug.
“Grandma!!! You’re here!! I’ve missed you sooo much!â€? he said.
“Hello, Frankie, honey. I missed you, too. Now how much do you love me?â€? I replied.
“This much!â€? He held out his hands and spread his arms apart.
“That’s it?â€? I answered jokingly.
“No!!!â€? He widened his hands until they stretched back so that his hands were almost behind his back.
“Awww, why thank you Frankie. I love you that much too.â€? I squealed. I tenderly set him down on the hard-wood floors and walked to my daughter.
“Hello Charlotte.â€? I said softly. She looked up from the stove top she was hunched over.
