Got the sign in more ways than one!

My husband is now gone for 8 months, and I am raising my 21 month old grandson alone.  Needless to say I have little time to myself, and many of the things I did individually for enjoyment before my man became ill and we took on the baby seems like a distant memory.
Last night LB (baby) and I were sitting in my bed, he was watching "Baby Signing, and I for the first time in well over a year picked up a previously started knitting project.  My grandson, who needs anything I have, reached over to touch the yard, but just turned away.  I felt the familiar calm of knitting, yet also a gentle tingling on my left side and a presence that just said right.  LB grabbed my hand and signed a new word grandpa, and articulated it as well, while patting his grandfather's side of the bed.
I have been waiting for a sign and I got what I needed.
