Heart tugs

 Every once in a while, I come across a picture that tugs at my heart. Jody sent me this picture and I love it.

Oh my David

 

It's so hard to write this. My sweet little grandson, your mom hasn't had it easy and I thought she might never have a child of her own. Then she got pregnant with you and we were very, very excited. Then there was a terrible car accident and your granny spent all night praying for you and your safety as she has every night since. You came into this world like it was no big deal. Ready to learn which face went with what voice. You've already given us so much joy and you haven't been out of the womb 48 hours. Can't wait to hold you again and I just left your house. All my love Granny.

 Just south of Jasper, next to the Highway Seven sign there's a path that leads down a hill that leads to Fern Falls:

Lessons from Parker

 As old as I am, I'm not to old to learn from a much, much younger person. I tell myself that I already knew these things and just needed to be reminded, but the credit goes to my youngest grandson Parker.

1.One of the best places to be is in someone's arms especially if they love you.

2.If you don't like your surroundings, look at them from a different angle. Just changing positions can make everything look a little differently.

3.Smile at someone when they tell you that they love you(you won't believe how much it will warm their heart).

4. Love is like a diaper-there's always room for just a little bit more.

5. Laugh when things get really shitty, you'll still have to deal with the poop, but it'll be a lot more fun.

All in all, I'm reminded how quickly things change. Parker is holding his head up now. He recognizes colors and voices and before too long he'll have a little cousin.
