I got a nice surprise.

Hi everyone. Earlier today my grandma came over. She said she wanted to talk to me about Christmas.  I groaned to myself and expected her to start going on about us excluding my mom and about the fight my dad and grandpa had. She asked me what I was cooking for Christmas dinner and then she asked me if I needed her to bring anything. I asked her if she was coming over on Christmas day and she said absolutely she was coming. I told her I just assumed since grandpa wasn't coming that she wouldn't either but that I was really happy she was. I did ask her if she was sure she would be ok leaving my grandpa all alone. She said he wouldn't be alone, my mom and uncle would be with him. She said she really didn't appreciate him asking my mom to come and that she didn't want her there.

Then she said if my grandpa and uncle wanted to act like a couple of jack asses they could sit over there with my mom. My grandma has never liked my mom but she's not the type to say bad things about anyone even if she doesn't like them. But she said my mom was just a horrible person and always had been. She said she didn't want my dad to marry her but she got pregnant with Tyler and my grandpa made him marry her. Wow! I was really shocked she said that. It's not like her at all. Then she told me my grandpa has had plenty of time to adjust to my transition and he should know it wasn't something that was going to change. Then she said if he wanted to act like a ->-bleeped-<- I shouldn't get stressed over it. OMG, that made me laugh. My grandma never uses bad language,  not ever, and she actually called my grandpa a ->-bleeped-<-.  That's too funny!

I thought my grandma wouldn't be over on Christmas and that made me sad. I'm so glad she's coming after all.

You might be surprised at what some people will say when you are alone with them. That's usually when they are the most honest. *hugs*

Give your grandma an extra hug from the folks here.  She deserves it!

 Wonderful Julia! I agree give that awesome Granny a hug from us for being on your side of the issue. By the sound of things this wasn't the first time she and Grandpa have had a difference of opinion. I laughed at your surprise at your Grandmother's calling him a ->-bleeped-<-. I had the same shock when I heard my Mom do it. It was always hard not to laugh when she was upset that much about something because it was so out of character.

Hugs,

I'm so happy for this turn of events for you Julia.  This is wonderful of your grandmother to show such love for you.  It's also an affirmation that you are accepted by her as who you are.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
