It's me...and no I'm not back on a regular basis. I just needed someone to talk to so you know...like any normal person, I've decided to lean on the broad and capable shoulders of a blank page. Blank pages are always kind and inviting and will never look at you like, "You again? Person? Can't you get your shit together already?"
Lol! You know that's a lie right?
Truth is....I just wanted to grace my long lost blog with a picture of my beloved grandson.
Shew! I last held him at the end of January this year and lemme telya, it's been a lonnnng five months ever since. I know. Me and long distance loved ones right, urgh! As if merely being an earthling is not difficult enough! HA! I don't know how that became my lifes new normal but it has and it sucks fungi'd rocks!
Howevvver! I would take them being THAT far away over them being near and in South Africa, on any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday....! We're over here watching the future of this country is literally hang in the balance so the faster our kids get the fuck outa here, the better for them.
But technology, yo!!!!! I gotta give technology it's earned vote of thanks right now. Technology? Has stepped up and erased the vast ocean as best as it could and can. Whatsapp, Skype, Messenger, with their video calls and voice calls...lifesavers! Granted it doesn't make up for not being able to cuddle and kiss and hold him but I'm beyond grateful that i still get to talk to him, melt inside as he smiles back at me and watch him grow in person without having to wait at the postbox for a letter every month.
Kage is now six months old and crawled I think for about five minutes. I see that he is now already standing and holding onto the sofa. He is a happy, healthy, laughing, energetic, very content little boy and his parents are doing an incredible job in taking care of him.
Right now I am both excited and I have to admit, rather envious. My son and my ex are off to meet the little one next week and even though I am ecstatic for the both of them, I am dyiiiiiing inside because I wanna be there too to hold him and experience him at this very responsive age.
When will it become legal to crawl into an international passengers suitcase? That's the day that I'm waiting for!
My new life goal.
To be luggage.
