I wanted to share this photo to show the first time I've seen my granddaughter in almost 2mos. It's a crazy story but I'm going to tell it. I am the paternal grandmother and the mother of the child doesn't care for me very much for her own reasons. Nonetheless, my brave granddaughter who is 1yr-old, survived a near death by drowning in her aunt's backyard algae-filled swimming pool. She was supposed to be under the care of her maternal grandmother. I was in Europe on a study-abroad trip for 30days. I was there only 7days when my son called me with the news; in fact, there is a video and it was actually on the news. http://www.azfamily.com/home/One-year-old-recovering-after-near-drowning-162446316.html
I had no money to get home but a man whom I've never met before, reached out to me on face book and bought me a one-way ticket home to get to my granddaughter. When I got home, I called my son to tell him I was on my way to see the baby. The mother found out I was on my way and she left with the child. I waited an hour for her to return. My heart was broken. I was broken. I knew I had a battle to fight and I'm in the midst of it as we speak. I already see the outcome and I already have the victory. What you want wants you. I want her and I know she wants her "gammaw." Thank you for listening. I'm writing my book, my memoir, and can't wait to tell my story so that others can know that they too can make it through.
