One of the interesting things about being a grandmother is that you have this feeling -- or at least I do -- that you're going through the grandparenting phase in a vacuum, with few others who know exactly how you feel, few others who think and do exactly as you do. I often think I surely must be the only one in the world so totally in love with my grandchild, so consumed with the desire to do and be the very best that I can be, for my kids, for my grandkids. Do you other grandmas feel that way, or is it just me?

This week's Grilled Grandma, Vicki, makes it clear that it's not just me, that my experience is one shared by many grandmas. The majority of Vicki's responses to my Grilled Grandma questions resonate and replicate what I think I might say ... and think ... and feel if I were answering such questions.

Read Grilled Grandma: Vicki to see if you agree and to learn great things about this special grandma ... who's so much like you ... so much like me.

Just gotta say: These Grilled Grandma profiles continually underscore that we grandmas are more alike than we are different. Clearly, when it comes to grandparenting, we're not alone. We walk this road together. And I love that.

I hope you do, too.
