When my children were just starting school I didn't even think about their children and their children's children. As with all things, time flies and my first grandchild made his appearance.  I was so much in love with him; nothing will ever equal that feeling.  My next pleasure was a beautiful curly haired grandaughter.  Wonder of all wonders we were blessed with another handsome lad. I seemed  to take it all in stride, loving them all so very much.  At times they seemed like mine and they were going home with that young person that should still be home,going to school.

My number 1 grandson waited a while to marry and we thought perhaps he would be our own inhouse bachelor.

Then before I realized what was really happening I was made a great grandmother or (Gigi) as we decided I would be to him.

He is the most handsome,intelligent,well manored child I have ever known in my lifetime. He shines like a star. I have often said He is the candle that has lighted a dark corner of my heart.

Years ago as I watched my own two children grow up I never thought I would be so blessed with all this love and enjoyment.
