As I was in the throes of raising children, I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to be a grandma. As my kids left home, none of them seemed to be in a rush to have kids any time soon and I was totally OK with that. All that changed with the birth of my grandson. And then a granddaughter. And now another granddaughter. I have to eat my words and tell you that being a grandma is the BEST thing in the world!!
One year ago today I got the call that my first granddaughter was to be born. A whole year ago! Not to be cliche or anything, but where does the time go.
I met Mara when she was ten days old. I loved her before she was even born. But from the moment I held her in my arms I knew that she had me. Hook, line, and sinker.
She was so tiny. I barely knew how to hold her. I was used to much larger babies. I spent ten days with her taking care of her and her mommy and it was fantastic!
Then.
Now.
Time passes so quickly.
Happy birthday, my little Mara!
That is one gorgeous baby!!
Ah, thank you. I’m pretty smitten with her.
