On Becoming a Grandmother...Again

On July 5, 2007, I became a grandmother. I will never forget the moment that the hospital door opened, and I saw my firstborn holding his firstborn. As our eyes met, tears ran down my cheeks while he introduced me to my precious granddaughter. I felt like the Grinch when his
heart grew three sizes!! That moment was all my friends said it would be and more. Getting to spend time with her has become a priority in my life.

Just recently, I discovered I am getting this wonderful privilege all over again. My daughter is
going to have a baby in May. As I stood in the room as she had her ultrasound, tears once again ran down my cheeks. My little girl is having a baby!!! I truly saw the handiwork of God that day...a baby-the size of a grain of rice with a heart beating healthy and strong. I can't wait to meet this little one and hold him or her in my arms and feel again the wonder and joy of becoming a grandmother.

Wow, it's still hard for me to believe your kids are old enough to be parents. Not to mention you being old enough to be a Grammy! God has been so good to you and Phil. He has blessed you with wonderful children who are now going to rear wonderful children of their own. To God be the glory, great things he hath done!

Hey mom! Excellent blog. When I hear you talk about us (your children) it just makes me honored to have you as my mother. You have led us to follow God and serve Him only and I can only imagine how that will rub off on your grandkids. You are awesome! One thing you should know now, that when Justin and Tiffany can't put up pictures of Taylor, it's grammy's job to take up the slack. So..start posting some pics! Haha! Love you!
