What happened when my daughter finally made me a grandma? After my daughter Emma got married, I started waiting for the day she would make me a grandma. I never asked her when she was going to have a baby. I didn't want to pressure her. But secretly, I had one little wish. I wanted a grandson. I never had a son. I always wondered what it would be like to raise a little boy. I loved my daughter more than anything, but I used to joke with her. When you have a baby, please give me a boy. She would laugh and say, "Mom, you don't get to choose. I even started buying little baby things. I bought a small stuffed bear, some baby books, and a tiny blue blanket. I kept everything in a box in my closet. Then one Saturday Emma called me, "Mom, can you come over tonight? We have something for you." I immediately became suspicious. When I got there, Emma and her husband Jake were sitting on the couch. They were both smiling. Emma gave me a small gift box. I looked at her and said, "Why are you smiling like that?" She laughed. Just open it. I opened the box. Inside was a tiny blue baby shirt. I picked it up and read the words. See you soon, grandma. Love your grandson. I stopped breathing for a second. I looked at Emma. Are you serious? She nodded. I started crying. Then I yelled, "A boy? Emma started laughing and crying at the same time. I hugged her so tightly that she said, "Mom, I can't breathe." Then I hugged Jake. I kept looking at the little shirt. I'm going to have a grandson. Emma laughed, "Mom, he's my son. I know," I said. But I'm still going to spoil him. Jake laughed. That's what we're scared of. Then Emma gave me an ultrasound picture. I looked at that tiny baby on the screen. Suddenly, it felt real. There was a little boy growing inside my daughter. I touched the picture and whispered, "Hi, baby. Grandma has been waiting for you. Emma sat beside me and put her head on my shoulder." Then she said, "Mom, I know you always wanted a boy, but I hope you know you never missed anything, because you had me. That made me cry even more. I hugged her. I wanted a son once. I told her. Then I got you, and you were everything I ever needed. I looked at the ultrasound picture again. Now I'm getting a grandson too. I'm just lucky." A few months later, Emma had her baby boy. When she placed him in my arms for the first time, I couldn't stop crying. He was so tiny. He grabbed my finger with his little hand and fell asleep against my chest.
