Look at this beautiful picture. It is Bianca and Ashlee hanging out together. That is just the way Diana and Jeannette were.
They enjoy each others company and so they make sure to make time for sisterly love. Ashlee has her own apartment that she shares with two other roommates. She is on a tight budget and has to watch what she spends. I called her and told her that she could move in with me and that she wouldn't pay for nothing at all. She could put her money in bank and save it. She laughed and said, " Grandma, it's all about FREEDOM. I laughed with her and I told her I understand.
After we hung up and as I was sitting down on my comfortable chair relaxing, I remembered long ago when Jeannette told me she was moving out. I remember crying and asking her why. We had a good mother and daughter connection and we were always laughing about something or another so I didn't understand why she would want to leave me.
She sat me down and told me, "Ma, I joined the United States Air Force and I am leaving to basic training on Saturday." She went on to say that she wanted to serve our country and wanted to see the world.
When she said goodbye to me at the airport I remember walking to my car feeling real sad and lonely. I was by myself for the first time as a mother. All three children were gone. No more loud music and friends popping in and out of the house. It was quiet. I mean you could hear a pin drop. Those days were full of sadness for me. At one point in time I sat on my living room floor looking at albums of my children and crying. When Jeannette came back from basic training I started really living again. Life was back to normal because I had my Jeannette back.
So pretty, so smart, so loving. My Nettle Poodle. I miss her so much.
