A creative grandma doesn’t let distance come between her and her new grandson!
Mom influencer Sarah Penewit welcomed her kid, Dawon, on January 12, 2024, with her mother at her side. The adoring grandmother stayed in town for more than a month to help the exhausted parents acclimate to life with a newborn. Then she tearfully returned to her home in Texas.
It wasn’t easy saying goodbye to Dawson. And the grandmother did not want to lose the attachment she had formed during her grandson’s first few weeks of life. So she came up with the brilliant idea of starting a YouTube channel dedicated solely to her reading books to Dawson.
A video on Your Positive News shows the grandma vibrantly reading Dawson a book through the screen and he intently listens to every word she says while he lounges in a bouncer.
“My mom lives out of state and wants to be part of our son’s life,” reads the caption. “So she made a YouTube channel where she reads him stories.”

In a separate post, Sarah shared that her mother has given her unending support through pregnancy and into motherhood.
“I’m so grateful for a mom who is willing to sacrifice her own sleep so that we can get ours,” she wrote. “A mom who breaks her leg halfway through her stay with us and says ‘it’s a blessing in disguise. Now I get to spend more time with you.’ A mom who is respectful of our intimate family time and asks if we need her or need space. The list goes on.”
“I hope to one day be half the mom she is,” she concluded.
