Wee One - from October 19, 2016




much-anticipated wee one

your due date has come and gone and much like your father, you are unhurried, taking life as it comes, without rushing but enjoying each moment as it is

i think of you enjoy the last hour’s in the safety and warmth of your mother’s womb where every need is instantly met, where nourishment is instantly available, and where the variable intensity of the light, sound and warmth is somewhat dampened and where each of her movements brings you cozy comfort.

i think about the time called “soon” whose those movements while no longer bring you comfort but will force you into the world of those who can hardly wait to see you

and in that process I hope you hurry a little because we have all waited a long time and it is time we met you

after all we are amazing and you are even more so

safe journey, little one

you are in my heart as always, Grandma

Manger-less Christmas Cards

Card-making is a hobby of mine. I love everything about it - the pretty paper, the stamps, the metal dies that cut out shapes, the embossing...
