What can I say...I'm not very good as Kirsten and Megan are at this blogging but I'm trying. I can't even say that I don't have time because I'm sure that they are way busier than I... raising those great kids I call my grandkids, working, school, husbands and now marathons, triathelons geez girls I'll never keep up!! All I can do is be very proud of the two wonderful, beautiful women I call my daughters....
Now...let's talk about the grandkids...WOW..never did I think I'd have so many (and we are not done yet, I think) grandkids...I think that they are the best thing EVER!! I can't even explain why??? When they say Nana...my heart just melts, I am so blessed! They say that when you die the only thing that really goes on is the memory of you and I am hopeful that my grandkids will have very fond memories of me just as I have of my own grandparents. The grandparents I had really weren't even my blood grandparents..they were two people that had hearts of gold that treated me as though I was their own. I will always remember how they never had reservations of how much they loved me they just did. They gave their all and I felt their love every time I was there at their home and it is something I will never forget! They would hold hands and sit on the couch even in their 70's...all I ever wanted is to have what they had. They treated my sons with the same love and, I was and am so very happy about that. I know that they too will always remember Granny and Papo ALWAYS! Greg loves to hear stories about them...for they too had lots of fun stories about marriage, struggle, triumphs and loss.
I hope that all of my grandkids will learn what I have learned from my own grandparents if they do I will have done my work here on Earth....
This is what I want my grandkids to know and yes to carry my memory..isn't that what we all want is to be seen, heard and remembered?
Keep up Mumsy :o)
