Tonight I received a very special phone call.

Tristan and Blaine were driving down south for a holiday with their little family. Blaine called me while they were driving, and said she had someone who wanted to talk to me. Then I heard, in Tom’s little voice,

“Hello Grandma”

Now the reason that this brought tears to my cheeks was that he’d never been able to say “Grandma'”. For months I’d been “Guargum”. Then last week I was “Grandbum”, which Rob had given me lots of hard times about, of course!

After we’d finished on the phone I raced out to the loungeroom and told Rob:-)
