My granddaughter has asked me to not talk about her on Facebook, and maybe not on my blog as well, but sometimes I just have to. This is probably because I am so very proud of the young women she has become. And it’s not like her parents have handed her everything on a silver platter, but they did instill an amazing work ethic in this kid.
What brings her
to the forefront of my thoughts at the moment is the fact she has moved into an
apartment. By the end of the weekend, she’ll be joined by her significant
other, but for almost two weeks, she’s been living on her very own and loving,
loving, loving it. I’m sure she’ll love it when he moves in with her as well.
I could go on
for pages about this young woman even were she not my granddaughter. She sailed
though high school, taking AP courses and finished almost a year before her
actual graduation day. Not to sit back and be bored, she went to a community
college and achieved a welding degree. If that wasn’t enough, she decided she’d
like to go away to school, so applied to Wyotech in Wyoming to study diesel
mechanics. She left there able to work on diesel engines.
Her true love,
if you can call it that, was, however, welding, so she’s been working as a
welder for the last two or three years. She met her significant other at school
in Wyoming and he, fortunately, lives in the area. Since her return, they’ve
been moving between his dad’s house and her parents.
Now, they’re
setting up housekeeping together…is it okay to say housekeeping like that these
days??? In any case, my wonderful granddaughter is off on a new adventure, that
of being a totally independent adult. Based on her past accomplishments, I know
whatever her future holds will be absolutely amazing.
So,
granddaughter, sorry for writing about you again…but dang it, I’m just so
fucking proud of you…so there!!!
