I have NEWS!! Last night, at dinner, our daughter, Katie and her husband, Jay, told us they are going to have a baby!!! Our very first Grandchild. I couldn't talk - I was literally laughing and crying at the same time! They have been married for 6 years. Do you remember that "feeling" of joy - when you heard news like that? It is all I can think about right now!! Hugs to all, Laura

Wow are you excited and you have a wonderful reason to be. I can only imagine how you acted once you heard the news. Oh I remember how I felt with my first grandchild. I was jumping with joy. Now this first one of 5 is having a child and making me a great-grandma in March. Laura I can imagine this grandchild of yours is going to be spoiled. CONGRATULATIONS.

Just between you and me, I'm expecting my 4th Grandchild in March.
I never thought I'd have any Grandchildren as it took them 12 years to have their first, each time the emotions have been overwhelming. And when I look at my beautiful Grands I am filled to choking with love for them all. It is so special when your granddaughter puts her arms up and says, can I have a hug Granma. My heart just melts.

Dear Laura,

I can feel your happiness through the computer. How wonderful that this baby will be your first grandchild. The happiness they bring you - their laughter and joy in living is something that delights the soul and gives meaning to life. I am so thrilled for you. And Yes, I remember the first time we were told. Now there will be 3 hearts on the journey of life. Love and blessings Chris

What Is a Grandma?

A grandma is warm hugs and sweet memories. She remembers all of your accomplishments and forgets all of your mistakes. She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to, and she hopes and prays that all your dreams come true. She always loves you, no matter what. She can see past temper tantrums and bad moods, and makes it clear that they don't affect how precious you are to her. She is an encouraging word and a tender touch. She is full of proud smiles. She is the one person in the world who loves you with all her heart, who remembers the child you were and cherishes the person you've become. ~Barbara Cage~
