How DeeDee came to be

The name Deedee was giving to me by a sweet little girl that I used to babysat. I have to say that this little girl let me have this alter-ego and enjoy all the things that I thought that I was to old to do anymore.She taught me the joy of just laying on the grass and watching the clouds go by and playing in the snow making snow angels again.I started watching her when she was 6 weeks old and my husband thought I was nuts to do this babysitting thing. I had reach a point in life that our three sons have moved out and being a stay at home Mom all those years, I felt as if my job was done and now what was I suppose to do!I do believe that everything happens for a reason so when this job came up, I thought to myself what am I best at... Taking care of kids!I was handed this sweet baby to take care of and spend at least eight hrs a day with. I taught her to walk and talk and got to do all the fun things that I thought were done in my life. I have grandchildren, but they weren't giving to me on a daily basic to care for and nurture. I was alive again and had a purpose!Now this is just the beginning of the story and there will be more to come.I have come to the thought that it time to just let out the rambling of a crazy old lady that has been taught a new zest for life by a tiny baby that has turn into a sweet girl.
