My grandson is growing so quickly into a little boy – he’s talking in sentences now and understands instructions. It’s such a joy to be able to be with him every day.

As I lay on my couch, snuggled under a blanket with a pillow under my head, I watch the 11pm news here, and my heart hurts.
Watching the news of the war, and the fight that the Ukrainians are experiencing, I am so grateful to be safe, well fed and comfortable.
I wish I could help in some way, but the most I can do is pray for them, and hope that peace comes sooner rather than later.
I pray that the refugees have a safe place tonight to lay their heads.
I pray that those who are fighting to save their country know that the world is praying for their safety.
Peace and love to you all.
I blog about my grandson a lot. I love him more than anything in this world. The last couple of days he’s becoming a jabbering toddler, without actual words but so close to words!
I don’t share many pictures or videos of him but today I am full of love for him. He has been so adorably sweet – and who doesn’t love a baby’s jibber jabber.
He is my heart 💙
Tell those that you love, that you love them every single day. Hug them, squeeze them until they feel like their ribs are going to crack, and show your love for them. It makes them and you feel better.
Today, I am sad. Sad for a dear friend and her family. Sad for the death of a baby who had barely had a chance to start living. Sad that I am thousands of miles away and can only offer words for comfort.
Life is not easy. None of us can pretend that it is. There are obstacles and fears and so many other things that make it hard for us some days to get through it all. Today I cannot even fathom what my friend and her daughter and their family are going through. The overwhelming grief and sadness that they are going through today.
So today, I ask all of you to say a little prayer. To take the time to reach out to someone who may be grieving or even just having a rough day for whatever reason and show them that you are there for them. Even if it’s just a phone call to say hello and that I care about you.
The world has another angel today – a little girl who will look down on her family and know that she was loved by them and that her love for them will always be with them. My heart is broken for them today.
My daughter had my grandson a week ago, and I have been so lucky to be close enough to spend the day with them right now whenever I want. Today was one of those days, and he was very alert when I first got there, and he cooed and cuddled with me – my heart was bursting with love. He’s melted away the walls I had up around my heart – he’s perfect. This grandma is over the moon in love with her little man. Love those around with you with every bit of your heart – they grow up too fast. Cuddle them when you can.
