Aimee on the Mountainside: Climbing Life's Mountain: Grandma Truths

Grandma Truths

How can it be that someone so very small can touch your heart in such a very big way?

How can it be that seeing things through their eyes is like seeing them for the first time--

all over again?

And how can it be that this happens over and over again with each new grandchild?

How can it be that one's heart can sing so loudly with joy

when you see your grandchild loving the same things you also hold dear?

or when something small you do makes your little one smile?

How can it be that one can be this blessed?

How can one deserve the gift of love they bring our way?

How can it be that it seems they give more to us than we could ever give to them?

But, oh how can one's heart break in two when we must say goodbye to the

little ones that have stolen our hearts:(

Missing all of my grandchildren today;

sending you my love everyday!

May God bless and keep you till we meet again

(and may that be very, very soon).

Blessings,

Grandma Aimee

I know your pain and I wish that I could somehow lessen it. I pray that God will comfort you and somehow make a way for you to see those cute granddaughters of yours. Know that I am thinking of you today and that I am sending hugs your way.
Regarding my sweet ones...they left earlier this week :(

FYI

1. If the blog page is not loading correctly, change your zoom level temporarily and it should solve the problem.

2. Please forgive the sometimes horrific formatting. As you can tell, html and I are still not friends--but I do keep trying.

3. Ditto the above request in regards to any grammatical or spelling errors you find. I do see them but I have decided to ignore them at this time because of #2:)

4. Love getting comments (who doesn't). If you aren't a blogger or want to remain nameless you are free to use the anonymous feature on 'post a comment'. I do monitor the comments before they are published but that is to get rid of spam and non family-friendly comments. I have dropped the 'word verification' requirement as it seemed unnecessary since I moderate the comments.

5. After much consideration over a period of years I have finally decided to add the followers/friend gadget to this blog. I deeply appreciate those who have followed me for some time and those who have expressed an interest in doing so. I hope by adding the gadget it will make it a bit easier for those who have requested it and I apologize for taking so long to add one.

6. Whether you are a visitor or follower know that I appreciate your visit here at my cyber home and that I truly hope you enjoy your time here.

Be blessed,
Aimee
