Falling in Love

 

      When your child creates a new life as a grandparent you fall in love all over again. You remember your own child as a baby and look for similarities between the two.

 

      As grandparents we look forward to the time in our life where we are not responsible for this new life yet we get the privilege of spoiling, loving and giving them all we couldn't give our own child.

 

      When our oldest granddaughter was born we realized what a special gift it was to become a grandparent. She became a frequent visitor and as she grew up she soon learned to enjoy our hobby & passion - motorcycling.

 

      Then our grandson was born. Wow, a boy! How exciting now to watch a baby boy grow into a young man. Life seemed so full to us. Our daughter had blessed us with two lovely grandchildren and being a grandparent was as the old timers say, "the cat's meow".  LOL!

 

      One Christmas our son proposed to his girlfriend and it wasn't long until we found out we were soon to be grandparents again. It had been 9 & 7 years since a baby was in the house so the thrills began again for us.

 

      When our granddaughter was born with a cleft lip and palate we were surprised but more than that we fell in love again. When she was airlifted at 6 hours old to a children's hospital hours away we were surprised but followed her there.

 

      At 4 months old she came to live with us for forever. Today she is six years old, has had seven surgeries and will face many more. She has not had one surgery that her Nana wasn't by her side. Today we are grandparents raising a grandchild with special medical needs. And wouldn't change a minute of it.
