What a better way to spend a day than to experience the miracle of birth and a new life, and then be able to hold him, touch his soft skin, and smell the sweetness of a newborn.
Holding him only hours after birth I was amazed that he was opening his eyes, facing an unknown world and what it is going to bring, and the innocence of an angel in his infancy. To be so close to heaven and feeling God's energy took my breath away.
I have experienced many things in my life, being a grandmother is one of the highlights of my life. By the middle of 2011 I will be a grandma to five. It is hard to explain what it means to me, but I want it to mean something to each of them. I want them to remember who I was, and how much they were loved. You can't do that unless you spend time, keep in touch, talk, listen and love unconditionally.
It is a gift that God gives us, the gift of grand parenthood. Don't be too busy to give back that which you have learned over your many years. Someday they will remember who you were and how you touched their lives.
What a great legacy, to have someone think of you, feel your presence, and mention your name with love. I think that is what God has assigned me to do.
I think I will stick around awhile and make a difference.
Intense love does not measure, it just gives...Mother Teresa
