joys of life

I am now a grandmother to four! The newest addition, AJ, made his debut on June 9th and has already stolen my heart. It amazes me how big your heart can get and how much love it can hold. Grandchildren are indeed precious. They are yours to hold and love and spoil and take care of but the main responsibility of their up-bringing is in their parents hands! It is strange, tho, to see your chilrden with children of their own. You want to jump in and give advice( and we usually do, to a degree,just admit it!) but you try to hold back and let them make their own mistakes. I honestly can say that being a grandmother is much better than I could have ever imagined and I truly believe that it one of the greatest rewards in life. I can NOT imagine being one of those grandparents who lives miles and miles or even states away from their grandchildren. How on earth do they do it? I am blessed.
