The next morning was the moment Deborah would meet her greatgrandmother again after all those years. Deborah was very surprised to hear that she still lived. Her greatgrandfather passed away in january and it was sad that Deborah never got to see him again. But getting to see her greatgrandmother made it a bit less sad. It was a nice seeing her again and she was delighted to meet Camilla. Deborah was eager to give her youngest daughter to her grandgrandmother. The Camilla's meeting for the first time. Her greatgrandmother was also very nice to her other children and treated them like she had been in their lives from the day they were born. The sundayafternoon went by very fast with her oldest children getting to play with Evan again and all the talking with the grown ups on the couch with the little ones close by. A real family, not to small but also not to big. It was nothing compared to the crowd back at home that was her family.

They all had to keep close attention to the five oldest boys as they were very happy to go do some mischief when they weren't watched. But it was such a relieve to all of them to see them all together having fun. Deborahs heart bursted from joy seeing them getting along so well. Especially when they came to tell her about what they had done. Her son Evan came to tell her about his time. Altough she felt the distance, Phillip and Alicia would be his parents, it was so nice to build their relationship.

That night was the last time she would see Evan for a long time. Deborah wasn't even sure if she would see him ever again. Alicia gave her him to hold for a while. Deborah was thankful to hold him just one more time before leaving.

He was such a precious little feller. Deborah loved him so much there were no words to describe it. His little hairs were already growing and giving the dark glow she had herself. She looked for something in his face that reminded her of his father. It was hard. She cradled him for a while and then got to bring him to his crib.

Laying him in bed made her feel like a big sister and mother at the same time. She had done this so many times for little brothers and sisters. Doing it for a child you birthed yourself was a whole different experience. Altough she wasn't his big sister but not really his mother either made it also painful. If only she could stay to bring him to bed every night. She stroke his little head and said softly I love you and then goodbye.

With a grandmother she also went to her greatgrandparents. They lived in a big house in the city. It was an old storage facility which they renovated and made their home. They brought groceries for them, cleaned and drank tea with them.

Her grandgrandmother was very happy to see her greatgrandchild. She had seventeen but had never seen one of them. Her greatgrandmother also knew she was expecting a baby, which would make her great-greatgrandchild. When the baby would be born there were five generations living at once. Hopefully her grandmother or grandfather wouldn't pass away before that day.

Chatting with her greatgrandparents was always fun. They were very interested in her. They asked her lots of questions. But they both had also a lot of stories to tell. About both her grandmother as her own mother. Deborah had to smile every time her greatgrandmother started to talk about the time that her grandmother was a child.
