My letter to the grandbaby soon to be known as Alice

first published on October 22, 2014



Dear Grandbaby

The morning is early, and the sky is still dark

And my thoughts are with you...

Do you know that I already love you?

Do you know that I already have hopes and dreams for you?

Do you know that I can hardly wait to see you?

And as much as I feel all these things,

my precious son, your dad, and his extraordinary wife, your mom,

feel them even more!

They already love you...

They already have hopes and dreams for you...

And they can hardly wait to see you....

These waiting days - 

the hours are longer than their given sixty minutes,

crawling by at a snails' pace

after nine months that seemingly passed much faster

But your arrival will put all this to rest

And as I look into your newborn eyes, 

I know that something more will once again fall into place inside of me

One more piece of my life's infinite puzzle

will fit into the just-right place

Have a safe journey, little one

I hope you arrive soon


and she arrived on October 30, 2014!

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...
