I was visiting with a friend recently who had just found out that she’ll be a first-time grandma. As she told her exciting news, one big smile covered her face.
Her son and his wife had given her a present—a wrapped Willow figure of a grandparent and grandchild. When she opened it, she got the message.
Another friend shared how she and her husband were invited to a picnic by their daughter and son-in-law. When they saw their granddaughter at the park, she had on a T-shirt that said, “I’m going to be a big sister.” That meant ...
One of our sons and his wife gave us a CD with some family pictures on it. In the middle of the CD was a very special picture—of an ultrasound. We were thrilled because we knew another grandbaby was on the way!

Have a great week,
Mary

We’ve been told so many times can hardly remember the first. Just know we were thrilled with each of them. - Rita
ReplyDeleteOur second son and his wife had been married almost five years, so I was about to give up on a grandchild from them. Then one day in Nov. after Christmas shopping, they called wanting my opinion on a gift they had bought. I said, "Sure, come on over." When they arrived, they handed me an ornament that said "Grandma to be." I looked at it and then looked at it again before it sunk in. I was so excited, I jumped up and down with glee and praised God. It was Christmas Eve before we got a present of a baby toy that was "blue."-- Glenda

ReplyDeleteGlenda, the Christmas ornament idea is clever! My guess is that you still have it. Do you?
