All of this resonates so much with me. Going to watch the video you mentioned. Are you familiar with Ruth's Substack, School of the Unconformed?https://schooloftheunconformed.substack.com/
She and her husband write there about technology, and its effects on families and children, and will be hosting a "Communal Digital Fast" that coincides with Lent. I caught the tail end of it last year--the community aspect of it was inspiring and encouraging.
Thank you so much Keri for this really good read. I have thought about giving up my phone for a lot of things but I use it for work. Most of my clients text me. I really enjoy reading your blogs. Lots is great information.
Btw…I love the photo of you, and your YiaYia! How special, and glad you have those memories to carry with you, and pass along to your children. 🥰
I have memories of my grandparents and doing things with both sets of grandpas, and Grandmas! One in particular was my Mom’s Dad taught me how to embroider. He was a tailor for many years. And my Mom’s Mom taught me to crochet. Those are memories we can carry with us until we join them in Heaven. God bless you, Tom, and the family. 💜✝️☝🏻🕊️🙏🏼
Yes, it sure is a challenge to figure out how to be accessible without it! Grandparents can sure be very special people in our lives; I'm hoping to be that kind of sweetness for my own grandchildren.
Yes they can be! I sure miss mine. You will be that kind of sweetness Keri!! Just knowing you, and the person you are I can see you teaching them many things like your YiaYia! Btw… do you know what your Grandma name is yet? I am amazed at how many there are. My grandchildren call me grandma, Rod is Papa, and their other Grandma is Nana! My cousin goes by Gram Gram. 😁❤️ I know what ever you will be called you will be the kind of Grandma that your grandchildren will tell their children about, and it will carry on through their children also, and so on! (((Hugs))) Grandma! 😉🥰

Thank you so much for that recommendation, I read one of the articles and resonated with it so much I shared it to Substack Notes.

Thank you, friend! Well, currently I am called Mae-Mae because no one (including me) could think of anything better 😂
I love Mae-Mae! It is uniquely you!! 😀
