This made me cry. I love all of the mothers of my grandchildren and want them to know how proud I am of them.

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change,

and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have

around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their

grandchildren. ~Author Unknown

Fresh from Heaven

Child of my child.

Heart of my heart.

Your smile bridges the years between us.

I am young again

discovering the world through your eyes.

You have the time to listen,

And I have the time to spend.

Delighted to gaze at familiar loved features made new in you again.

Through you I'll see the future.

Through me you'll know the past.

In the present

We'll love one another

As long as these moments last.
