"I thought I was going to be able to comment this image in the blog but I couldn’t figure it out. Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Mom and my beloved Granny!
My laptop is about 2 weeks old and I have nothing saved on it. Somehow my iCloud pulled up this image of Granny holding Jack. I can’t stop looking at it! It’s hard to believe she would’ve been 104 - I can still smell her patchouli scent and see her cute smile :).
Sending hugs! xx
Love,
Kelly"

ReplyDeleteMy fondest memory I would say were the couple (at least) of times Marie came to help when the twins were born. she stayed 2 weeks at least twice! I remember how calm she was and how much she loved just holding the babies. She was in her heaven! I remember thinking that I couldn't believe I knew someone who actually had always wanted twins, go figure! ;) We had the best time just sitting and chatting away (the twins were great nappers!) about whatever over whatever beverage! That was such a respite from my panicked and exhausted days! <3 jan
ReplyDeleteYep! Mom loved rocking babies! Such sweet memories! She was the cavalry... helping us out so many times when our boys were sick & Sean was out of town with his work & I had no more sick days left at my work! We were blessed! ❤️
DeleteMom made it a point of not butting in in the raising of her children's children. She just showed up and pitched in where needed. Unless asked ... :-)
