AND ONE MORE GRANDKID IN NOVEMBER

 My youngest son  (who is depicted in this sketch) with his son Cayden and Cayden's mom) is going to have a little girl in November (not with Cayden's mom) but with his partner.  Now all four of my son's will each have a daughter and son(s).  She will be my fourth granddaughter and I have six grandsons.  

John and Carmen (Cayden's mom) never married but have always had a good relationship between them because of Cayden.  Cayden has like four sets of grandparents all who love him a lot.  He is a lucky guy.  He has graduated this last school year, as has one of my granddaughters and great niece. (my sister's granddaughter).  Time has passed so fast.  Another granddaughter will graduate next year.

This little painting was mostly done by Cayden when he was about 10.  He did the background and wanted help with the figures.  His mom is a day person and dad has always been a night person.  I was amazed at his reason for this painting - wanting to show a strong connection between them all.  Cayden has an absolutely wonderful supportive step dad and a great dad - my son.  He's a lucky guy but also a very sensitive person and I don't think ever got in trouble going through high school.  Unlike some of my sons who really challenged my patience, lol.  


I came across this painting again in one of my folders and it brought back a good memory of creating something together with Cayden.  Eventually before we gave it to each one of them, he wanted to divide the painting in half and each one got half of him.  This was all totally his idea.  

And that's my sharing for today.  Hope u are all staying cool if you are in heat zones and warm if you are in winter somewhere.

      Thanks CJ. Since I had four boys it's nice to have girls in the family.

      Thanks Carol. It's nice to look forward to another little one. It was so fun when Cay was little to create this with him.

    Hi Sandy,
    The solution your grandson found is interesting,
    dividing the painting in half, I'm glad he
    There are all these bonds of love, the colors used are beautiful.
    Thank you for the comments on the posts.
    Many cities will have to be built elsewhere,
    hundreds of people lost their homes; in my family
    my brother lost everything, but he is alive and well.
    It's just the force of nature giving its message to men.
    I have a great interest in Quantum Physics and have studied
    physicist Tom Campbell and his book My Big Toe.
    I'm still trying to meditate...
    Over the years I have faced many challenges that if it weren't for
    my studies I would have already gone into a deep depression. I think that
    While I'm on this earth I'll be studying something.
    Good sunday.

      I just can't imagine what so many are going through and having to start over. I'm glad your brother is alive and well. I agree with you about the "studies". They have helped me choose peace in a lot of different situations . I will look up those books you mentioned. I'm like you - it''s basically a passion and will be so for the rest of my life. All the best to you!! hugs

    Congrats on the upcoming addition to your family.
    It sounds like you have a wonderfully close-knit and supportive family, which is truly a blessing. Cayden's painting is beautiful and his idea to divide it between his parents is so thoughtful.
    It's amazing how art can capture such meaningful connections.
    Wishing you all the best and lots of joy as you prepare to welcome your new granddaughter.

    Hugs and blessings, Sandy!

      Thanks so much Veronica. I just wished a lot of my family lived closer. They were the smart ones and got out of California before it became so expensive for everything. Three of my sons moved more north, Washington, Oregon and Montana. My grandson amazed me as this was all his ideal to do.

      thanks Carol. I always enjoy your blog and hope I keep my laptop busy more than I have in the past. Once I got an Iphone I got hooked on the ease of looking through social media. I need a break from all that, lol. I miss my blog friends.
