Harrison has had a fantastic 3 days staying with his Neema (Grandma) in our Whistler condo. We were so blessed to have her live with us until H was 3 and help to raise him while I was working. The 2 of them have a bond that I can't describe, it's like they are connected on another level. It was always a little bittersweet for me because when he was little, it was her who he cried for if he was sick or hurt, but I was always happy for the 2 of them and the special relationship that they have. I knew that no matter what I was his Mommy and words can't describe the feeling that it brought me to know that he was safe, adored, and lived a richly stimulating perfect life when I had to be at work.
Now, ironically, Neema still lives in Japan, and we are in Canada. It's hard for both of them to be away from one another, but when they are together, they enter their own world and off they go... I went to bring supplies to the rescue heroes and I found them in the dark in the walk in closet whooping with delight. When I went in, I found them in the dark whipping a glow in the dark bouncy eye ball around the closet. If the ball hit Neema, then she tackled H, and vice versa. I tried to play along but holy moly having a hard little ball ricocheting at me in the dark was waaaaay too crazy for me. If you can believe it, they had been in there for an hour already, and probably would have been for another hour if I hadn't interrupted them!
Yep, Neema rocks!
