Chapter 4431
“What are you thanking me for? We’ve been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades—more like mother and daughter. If anything, I should be the one thanking you for giving me two wonderful grandsons. And now, I’m even a great-grandmother.”
The old lady gently patted Tania’s hand and said warmly, “As long as you and your husband take good care of yourselves and stay healthy, you’ll live to enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren. When you get to be my age, you’ll have a house full of family too.”
Tania smiled. “If I live long enough to become a great-grandmother, I’ll be smiling in my dreams.”
“Why not?” the old lady said. “You could easily live into your eighties or nineties. Just look at Mr. Jimenez—he’s nearly a hundred and still going strong. Now that he’s living with Audrey, he’s in even better spirits. He might just make it past a hundred. That’s what happens when someone’s at peace and happy. He’s done worrying—now all he has to do is enjoy his grandkids. Zack and Tatum are both good kids. You’ll see—just enjoy the blessings. This little one is only a few days old now, but time flies. Before you know it, he’ll be all grown up.”
She handed the baby boy to Tania, his grandmother.
As Tania held him, she said with a nostalgic smile, “Just like when Zack was born. One minute he was a baby, and now he’s in his thirties.” She laughed softly. “Yes, yes, I’ll listen to you, Mom. I’ll try not to worry so much or get too involved. I’ll relax and do my best to live a long life. I’m really falling for this little guy—he’s such a handsome baby.”
