G-Force. Grandparent Power.

One day, your grandbaby is toddling along, on wobbly legs and then the next time you see her, she is sturdy on the earth and at a gallop. Life goes fast; a speeding bullet. When my husband John and I visited our son and his wife in Colorado in 2012 when Lilah was about a year old we visited the town of Niwot, north of Boulder. Four years later I found myself there again for four months, just to spend time with her before she starts kindergarten next year. We walk to the Whistlestop playground often, enjoying the new Children's Park with state of the art play equipment across from the caboose. And we stand in awe when a train passes, as it did back then, reminding us to seize the day before it speeds away in a chugging rumble, whistle blowing. G-Force--Lilah, your G'Ma is here to try to slow down that train and climb aboard with you!
