I know my daughter appreciated it and she thanked me at the time. Plus I was more than happy to do it. But it warmed my heart this past Memorial Day at our family celebration when she said how great it was even though it took place 13 years ago.
When my daughter was born my Mother came to stay with me for the first two weeks so that I would have help taking care of my new baby. But I live only ten minutes away from my daughter so I wouldn’t be staying at her house when she brought Jacob, my first grandchild home from the hospital. In addition, my son-in-law owns his own business and works out of their house. As a result, I felt that they hardly needed me around as a possible intrusion during the day.
Thus, I told my daughter, that for her first two weeks home from the hospital I would do the grocery shopping and come to her house every evening to cook dinner. It was over 13 years ago, but I still remember quite clearly spending the time in her kitchen cooking, eating dinner with her and James, and enjoying my brand new grandson. But as time has past I hardly ever think of that time anymore. And so I beamed with pleasure when she mentioned those days and how much she appreciated my cooking for her.
