grandmothers are amazing

We all know that grandmothers are wonderful but some of them are actually amazing.  Last week my wife (Tumna to her grandkids) drove for two hours to watch our grand son run in a track meet.  Neither of Andy's parents were going to be able to attend and Kristi thought it was important for a family member to be there in order to "cheer him on."  Part of the problem, however, was that it was uncertain when, during the meet, Andy would run.  So, Kristi left home around 8:00 am. and arrived in Chickasha around 10:00.  As it ended up, Andy's "run" did not come until almost 3:30!  She sat in the stands for over 5 hours, (she didn't want to leave to get something to eat for she feared his run might come while she was gone and she would miss it.)  But she did eventually get to see him run.  He ran the 880, which is approximately 1/2 mile.  As you can imagine, the race didn't last very long.  When we drive to watch a soccer match at least we get to watch an entire game which usually starts on time and lasts for a little over an hour.  But Andy's 880 run lasted exactly  2 minutes and 35 seconds!  Kristi had driven two hours to the meet and waited over five hours to watch Andy run for 2 minutes and 35 seconds!  I submit to you that only a grandmother (a very special one) would do that.  Having watched Andy she decided she might as well stay and his friend Max.  She finally left the track meet around 5:00 and arrived home at 7:30 pm!  So I think you can understand the title of this post:  Grandmother's are Amazing!  I don't know of any other people who are filled with so much love.
