This afternoon as I watched Olivia playing in our backyard, I couldn’t help but stop and think about the fact that she will not have any memories of my grandfather. It made me so sad, to know that she will never see firsthand what an amazing, loving, caring and generous person he was.
Thankfully I will always have the memories of him and her together last year. At how excited he was to have all of his great grandchildren visit him. If I close my eyes I can see his smile and the look of tenderness that washed over his face as he sat watching them all play together.
Those are the moments that I want to remember and always treasure, the moments that I now struggle to journal as fast as I can so that I don’t forget them. I want to make sure that I can share them with my little girl and have her at least know from me what a wonderful person her great grandfather was.
……..
I also want to take this opportunity to THANK my amazing and caring online friends. Girls, it is truly a comfort to know that you are here for me! I love the fact that even though we haven’t all met, we all have a deep friendship that surpasses our love for scrapbooking.
THANK YOU!
