Mixed emotions

I now know it's possible to be incredibly happy and incredibly sad at the same time. We had twin girls born yesterday. The most darling little granddaughters, the size of little baby dolls. What a joyous occasion for our family. Then, I remembered, they will soon be moving thousands of miles away and sadness enveloped me. Our oldest daughter and her family will also be moving far away this summer. Seems like our own children were just newborn babies and now they're all grown up with families of their own, but no matter how old they get, they'll still be our children. Sometimes there are happy tears and sometimes there are tears of sadness. The challenge is to enjoy the happy times without letting sadness steal away those happy moments. We need to enjoy every moment, every gift that we are given and when the storms come, we dance and thank God for those moments that bring us so much joy and happiness.
