cha cha's visit.

Lainey's ChaCha came for a short visit at the very first of July. Of course, Lainey remembered her instantly & was attached her whole visit. I hate that my child has to be separated from her grandparents. In my child hood  I remember being with all of my grandparents & they're happy memories for me. I hope that one day my children will be able to call upon their grandparents any time they want. I don't want them to have to say goodbye for months at a time. Even as an infant Lainey can recognize her Nonnie & ChaCha, even after months of not seeing them, & that I am thankful for.  

It is remarkable how, overnight, a quiet mature lady can learn to sit cross-legged on the floor and play a tin drum, quack like a duck, sing all the verses of The Twelve Days Of Christmas, make paper flowers, draw pigs, and sew on the ears of severely-injured teddy bears.

Grandmothers can turn simple moments into gifts of love.

 Your love is a rare and beautiful gift and you show it in so many ways.  In the pride that you take in your family,in your words of affection and praise,

 In your laughter and warm sense of humor,in the generous things that you do. Your love is a rare and beautiful gift and there’s no one who shares it like you.

 Everything my grandma does is something special made with love.She takes time to add the extra touch that says, "I love you very much."She fixes hurts with a kiss and smile and tells good stories grandma-style.It's warm and cozy on her lap for secret telling or a nap.And when I say my prayers at night I ask God to bless and hold her tight.Cause when it comes to giving hugs my grandma's arms are filled with love!

My Grandma is so sweet
When she visits, it’s a treat.
Gum drops and lollipops
The day should never stop
Peppermints and licorice
Lots of hugs and a sticky kiss
Cupcakes and gooey icing,
Grandma’s love is so enticing.
