Grandma Love

Grandma Love

When a baby is born

a grandma is, too,

with more love in her heart

than she ever knew.

The average person becomes a grandparent at age 50.   And aren't we different people at age 50 than we were in our twenties or thirties?  We have had our good times and our bad times.  We have worked, raised our own children, volunteered, sat on committees at church, in the community and within our schools.  We have traveled, even if only to see relatives. Hopefully we have sat on a sun-lit beach and felt the hot sun shine on our face, and then watched the sun set over the water.  We've probably gone fishing, ridden in a convertable car, skipped rocks on a pond and had a hotdog at a baseball game.  We've done the things we should have done and some things we should not have done.  But we have lived and learned and loved and laughed and cried. 

Grandmother - it's all in a Name

Are you called “Grandmother” or “Nana” or “Granny”?  I know a grandma that goes by each one of those names.  And the number of names that stand for that special someone in a child’s life is growing.   Many of us grandparents today are choosing the name we hope to be called by our little “grand” someone.   Some we can indeed choose, but some our little ones will choose for us – and those can become some of our favorite names.
