Simply Incredible.

As I read the newest posts on Monica and Celeste's blog tonight, tears
wouldn't stop streaming down my face.  It really amazes me how these
two young women have grown up to be so smart and eloquent.  I am
so proud of them.

Someone waiting...

I know that no one follows me, and I'm not writing this for anyone but myself.

I've just experienced something I've never gone through before.  Not close enough that it hurt so much.  My daughter was about 6 weeks pregnant, and she lost her precious baby.  Through the years I've heard people say things like "It was just not meant to be," or "It was for the best."  I'll never say those words to someone going through this.

Someone is waiting for me in Heaven.  Maybe it's my first granddaughter...I'll find out some day.  She has a sweet great-grandmother there with her.  Through these tears I shed, I do have a wonderful peace in my heart that someday we'll meet each other.  I love you, sweet baby!

Owen

My newest grandson was born September 3, 2010.  I have other grandsons; five, in fact.  You'd think after that many grandchildren, the sixth would be less than exciting, but you would be wrong.  I feel like he's the first one all over again!

Owen lives 1.5 hours from Nana and Granddad, so I gladly travel to see him about once every two weeks.  He likes me!
