“Ma” is one of the first syllables that babies say, often when they are sad or upset, which is a bit of a bummer for moms to whom this sound is usually attached.
ABC is about to turn eighteen months, so we have been treated to the evolution of “ma”. Right now, it is the sound she makes when she is giving kisses, whether or not these involve physical contact.
It is so sweet at bedtime or other times of the day when she walks or runs over to give a kiss – Mmmmmmmaaaaa!
She and daughter E will leave mid-month to spend four weeks with dad/spouse L in London, where they will have holiday celebrations with her other grandparents, aunt, and extended family.
We will miss them and ABC kisses over the holidays.
Maybe she will kiss the computer screen when we visit digitally as we have seen her do many times when she sees her daddy on the screen…

It is wonderful to have ABC here so much, although I admit that I often feel bittersweet, knowing she will move to the UK permanently next year.

I can understand that. Still, you will be imprinted on her brain and her in your heart.

❤ E is my parents’ first grandchild and my mom still holds dear many memories of her when she was little. It has been a huge blessing for Nana and Paco to get to know their first great-grandchild, something that B's parents did not live to do.
