Hi there Little One, its Yiayia
I know you’re not even thought of yet but hopefully one day we will get to meet each other and I know with absolute certainty that when that time arrives you will become the most precious gift I could ever imagine. From the moment you take your first breath and open your tiny eyes you will steal my heart and I promise to nurture, care for and shower you with all the love and affection you deserve.
You are probably wondering who I am so I’d better introduce myself properly before we go any further. I am your Moms Mother and I am hoping you will call me Yiayia, which is the Greek word for Grandmother. Let me explain….. Grandpa and I retired in 2006 and came to live in Crete where we built our own house. I tried to learn Greek but it is a difficult language and I only speak a few sentences. When I heard the children shouting out for their Yiayia’s I thought it sounded like a nice easy word to learn and if I was lucky enough to become one myself then that’s what I would like to be called.
When you arrive you will only be on loan to me occasionally but I will have lots of stories to tell you about our family, especially ones about Grandpa and me and how much we love each other, your Mom and now you too. We will learn new things together, play games, bake cakes, laugh and have fun and although I know the returns policy is ‘as new’ I hope I will encourage you to meet a challenge head on and to never give up the chance of a new experience.
There might be quiet times when we will sit and talk, sharing secrets that I promise never to tell, reading books together, slipping into a world of make believe but trust in me because I will always be here for you
I don’t know what the future has in store for you, I hope that I will be part of it in some small way and that its as perfect as can be but you must learn independence, follow your own dreams and make each moment count
All my love until we meet
