Suggestions?

2007-08-10

My stepdaughter called last night from Washington State.  We thought it was the same old stuff, but she threw us for a definite loop.  In a nutshell, she's pregnant and I'm going to be a grandmother at the ripe old age of 37 (by the time my b-day comes around).  She appears to be very happy, even though part is the novelty of a baby.  No thought about when it gets here and how hard it will be.

Well, back to the suggestion part.  She asked me what I wanted to be called.  I told her I never really had a grandmother and I wasn't expecting to be one so soon so I'd never really thought about it.  I told her I would need to think about the perfect moniker that says grandmother, but doesn't make me feel like one.  I need a cool, young way to say grandmother.  Nana and Nannie are completely out.  My stepgrandmother was Nana and I never liked her.  She wasn't a very nice person.  My other grandmother was an alcoholic so I rarely spent much time with her.  My only and favorite grandmother was my great grandma.  She was wonderful.  She was also old as long as I could remember.  Grandma suited her just fine.  Not me though.  So, now I need a bit of help.  Any ideas? Cool

Hon just because you didnt have a great grandmother doesnt mean you wont be one. If you want to be called tell your daughter. I'm sure it would mean the world to her.
