By Name

We have reached a milestone. My granddaughter now  knows us by name. We saw her last week for her birthday and when we arrived at her house last night for Christmas Eve she ran to us calling"Grandma" and "Poppy".  We only see her  a few times a year so she was always prompted to say our names. This time she did it by recognition. It was the best feeling. She even asked where her little cousin was.  I have two grandchildren. One I see daily and the other about five times a year. Until now, Skype was hard as she was more interested in hitting the keyboard than focusing on me. Yesterday was a game changer. The best gift I received was being called grandma.
