Granddaughters are the best gift ever. Sarah and Dean had family photos taken and much of the girls personality shines through. Then on my birthday I got a singing phone call from three girls who have my heart. Tim and I were talking to Andrea and Lily was "talking" to us with her mama. As I was saying good bye I told Andrea to put her cheek to the top of Lily's head and simple smell that lovely new baby. As I was talking Tim teared up and told Andrea that it was the sweetest smell and most tender moment of a life. To hold your baby and enjoy the purity of life. I would imagine that grand mothers of little boys enjoy that too, and when I HAVE a grandson, I will say that grandchildren are the best gift ever!
Still,after being in the Tri-Cities for a year and half I love the fact that when I see my granddaughters they still run and shout, GRANDMA!!! They have told us several times that our house is just not as fun when we are not there. Does that remind you of the saying, the home is where the heart is? It is fun to see the differences in each of these little ladies. I am looking forward to getting to spend time and make that bond with Lily. It is good to know the people who love you simply because you are. We are formed not just of tissue, chemicals and genes, but from the hearts and hopes of the people who surround us. We are lucky to have family and friends to help us polish the way we see ourselves.
So thank you all for making us loved, we will pay it forward, back to all of you and to the ones who are the best gift of all!
Tim and Judy
