Cecelia and Olivia are here visiting this week - heaven! And exhaustion! And joy! And singing, dancing, chatter chatter chatter.
I cannot imagine a life without grandchildren.
I remember when my daughter was pregnant with Cecelia I actually spent time wondering about how long it would take me to "love' the new baby. I was not sure that it would be something that just happened, or how it happened. Well, the moment I held that teeny little Cecelia in my arms I was in love! She was in my heart immediately and forever. The same thing when Olivia was born.
Love is so interesting - what is this immediate and without reservation love? Why? All I did was hold this seven pound person and there it was - love.
When I am feeling down or having a bad day or cannot fall asleep, I just picture my granddaughters and it is an instant fix. Soothing, joyful, reminding me to keep my gratitude in the forefront of my life.
