my grandaughter

Today, my grandaughter stayed with us at home from morning until evening, and we played with a picnic basket of Hello Kitty, and she was the waitress.
This evening, I went with my daughter and grandaughter to see my mom, my sister and my niece who has a baby girl of 2 months. I was looking at the  baby and thinking that very soon, in about a month, we will be grandparents again, another little girl. We are very happy about it, but I wish I could take away from my daughter part of the tiredness I see her going through.
We always worry about our children no matter what age they are. Maybe worry isn't the word, but concern. I try to help them in any way I can, maybe I spoil them, but then again, I don't know how to be any other way. It's not work for me to help my kids, I like it, I think I was brought up that way, that's what I know to do and it's what makes me happy.

Liver transplant for my friend

My friend, the one I was worried about, had another liver transplant last night. The surgery lasted 5 hours and he is doing Ok, although right now it's too early to say anything.
This is his second liver transplant because after many complications in the las year, he needed another transplant to survive. He didn't have to wait too much after they told him the news, only a week or two. I hope he does well and wish him a fast recovery. He is very strong emotionally and his wife is too and that helps a lot for these matters. I went to see him last thursday and had a chance to talk to both of them and they were very hopeful to get a transplant soon and with good results.
Life is a blessing that sometimes people take for granted, but others appreciate and hang on to the last hope to go on living.
