My 60th Birthday ~ The Circle of Life

“Dear Finn and Hazel,
I am your Maternal Grandmother, which means that I'm your Mommy’s Mother.
I’m also your Aunt Rebecca’s Mother. 
I don’t know what you have been told about me, or if you even know that I exist...
Someday in the future when you discover this blog, you will find out how much I love you both & that your Grandmother dearly wanted to be a part of your lives." 
               *************************************
My maternal Grandmother was born on Dec. 8, 1909, and on February 11, 1933 she gave birth to my Mother. Sixty years ago at 5:25 in the morning, my Mother gave me life.
Doris Meredith Seaver, Phyllis Meredith Meacham & Me 
Lynn Meredith Meacham (Roth)
When Micheal and I were both 26 years old, I gave birth to our first born baby, Lacie Meredith Roth, on Sept. 20, 1983 at 5:21 pm.
Proud parents of Lacie Meredith Roth 
Thirty years ago I gave birth to our youngest daughter, Rebecca Lynn Roth at 6:32 am, on March 9, 1987
Half a lifetime ago
My daughter Lacie (aka Laecee) gave birth to my only Grandchildren,
Finn & Hazel Gershenson, in July 2011 and June 2013.

I quit smoking a year ago, never was a full time smoker, a social smoker is what I was...I hope that neither one of you ever start smoking.
Please, please, never smoke, my dear Grandchildren.
Today I'm officially an old lady, still an avid hiker, wrinkles and all...

"Finnlynn, I find it shameful and disgusting that WE, along with others, are reduced to “stalking” our estranged children’s Facebook pages to see, or in my case steal, pictures of our beloved and missed Grandchildren. To watch them grow, change, and reach milestones – where by all rights and purposes we should have been a part of to witness – angers me.
If my “antics” or behavior bothers my estranged daughter, I frankly don’t give a damn. I have been completely betrayed by her in the worst way possible. As a parent who has also been tossed aside, I don’t believe I could ever bring myself to apologize for catching glimpses into my Grandchildren’s lives by any means possible. They were ripped from me, too – there will NEVER be an explanation good enough for that happening.
People who hurt others on purpose are, in my opinion, awful. I think this treatment is beyond cruel. WHO the hell do you think you are??? And, how dare YOU?
I’m bitter – I recognize it, and I pray every day for help with that. In this crazy-ass world the only person I could ever count on was my Mom. She left this world in January 2001, and I have felt her loss ever since. You kids are freaking crazy for tossing your mother.
While I don’t understand what motivated you to apologize (You are a much better person than I am – I couldn’t do it – It would never leave my mouth.) I do understand that we are all different and must figure out ways to move forward. Peace be with you dear Finnlynn"
