I love hearing my grandma talk about her 'babies' too (all 7 of them!). I find it so facinating to hear how similar things were. Even something as insignificant as starting solids, "oh Dale started solids at 8 weeks old" hahaha! I just love it! Sometimes we (well, I) forget that they're not just 'oldies', they're also mothers
She has been through soo much, more than I could ever dream of. Bringing home her youngest, a premmie, in a shoe box.. Losing one of her eldest in a car accident when he was 19.. Being diagnosed with cancer 45 years ago and surviving when they said she was a goner... And this year, losing her husband of 62 years to a death which did not give him justice
The stories she could tell...
I feel so humbled when I think of her and what an incredible mother she is.
Now excuse me while I get some tissues to dry my eyes...
I love my grandma
