Worries,worries,worries!

Last week my son-in-law had some surgery with some wicked side effects. I worried myself sick about him, my daughter& my 2 granddaughters!  I tried not to be a bothersome pain to them but it was so hard! Being a far away grandma is really hard. The weather was too bad to drive, wait, now that I think of it, I could have ski'ed or used my neighbors snowmobile!  I guess as a grandma I am learning that patience and staying calm is a gift I can give my children. He's much better now and I can see that being anxious usually just make's things worse. I wish there were a magic answer to being instantly calm.
