When Lorelei and I are together she always wants to take dozens of selfies with me. 💕 And then she posts them all over Facebook and Instagram.

I am very flattered that she is so open about her feelings. So many teens are embarrassed or “too cool” to show emotion, but not my sweet Lorelei.

I am one lucky Gramma! 💖

Thanks @Keesha :love:

I work at my relationship with my grandkids, just like I do to maintain my romantic relationship and my relationships with my kids. It doesn't FEEL like work, of course, ;) but still, I don't have any expectations that those relationships will just happen, or maintain, without any help from me.
 

Ronni, grandkids are such a blessing. I have 9 of them ranging in age of 19 to 5. It doesn't matter which one I am with I know I am going to have such a fun time whether it be listening to the crazy music they are into or the stories about school or just doing a craft with the little ones. It is always a blast.

I have to ask, isn’t her name an old southern name? My Great Grandmother was born and raised in South Carolina and her name was Lorelei, but I am not 100% sure if it was spelled exactly the same. Her and my Great Grandfather started a cigar manufacturing business in S.C. and eventually sold the business to a Swedish company that made White Owl cigars. The way the story goes is that they became very well to do from the sale of the business.

@oldman her Mom was a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, a TV show that was popular when she was pregnant and Lorelai was the female lead I think. She loved the name, but changed the spelling. I think the origin of the name is German, if i remember correctly.

Some people shorten the name to Lori or Rory, but my granddaughter has always been Lorelei.
