Thank you Foreveryoung. All are great sayings. The one that struck something with me is “Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. ~ Welsh Proverb ” I never thought about it that way before, but definitely there was something different when my first granddaughter was born. I always thought that I was losing a daughter to her family, but then my grandchild brought the family closer again.

Forever, Thanks for sharing this and I love my grandsons and becoming a grandma in 93 after I had lost my husband . I was able to have Ryan alot at my house after I moved back to Maryland in 95 . Then my second grandson Joey was born in 98 and I had 2 beautiful grandchildren to love and be loved back .Now they are both grown up and don’t see them that often but they know that I love them and that I am here if they need anything. I remember my grandfather as my Mother and I lived with him as my grandmother had passed away before I was born so having my grandfather there , I have very good memory’s of him till he passed away in 54 when I was 13 and am thankful I had him in my life for 13 years.
Thank you all – I am so pleased this touched you xoxoxoxox
