Many years ago at my granddaughters last baseball tournament, she (Melissa) pointed out some thing that I had not thought of in her young life.
Her mom had just finished commenting on how lucky she was to have all the extended family to watch her play. Saying that Grandma Mackenzie, Grandma Lorna and Grandma Deloris has all seen her play ball as well as three of her Grandfathers.
Instead of being happy about Deb's comment she teared up and said "but it is just going to be harder and I will have to be sad over and over again when they die".
She did touch on a hidden sadness of mine of losing so many of my family and friends, many at a young age. As she is such a loving young girl/woman she indeed will feel much pain as we age and die.

She definitely is a compassionate and thoughtful young woman. I hope she will hang on to those positive memories of her softball days to buoy her during the difficult days she has and will face until she is one day a grandma watching her granddaughter tear it up on the field. :)
