Being A Grandmother

I've been blessed by having a wonderful, bright little spirit brought into our lives, my little granddaughter, Rachel.  She is the prettiest little girl, bright, intelligent, and special in so many ways.

My oldest son and his wife were expecting twins to join her in bringing even more joy into our lives. Sadly, one of the twins seems to have stopped developing at twelve weeks one day, which broke all of our hearts. But God did not take both of them, and one day Rachel will have a little brother to annoy her and fight with and play with.

I haven't written about it til now, because it is such a bittersweet thing.  We'll always miss having that beautiful little spark of God in our lives, but as my son says, they got to see the baby on ultrasound and will one day see that baby again, and we will certainly pour our love onto the little fellow that is still destined to bring his spark into our lives.

Our prayers will be going out for my daughter-in-law, who has had such a tough time, but we know she is strong, and the most loving mom a kid could have.  I'll be very happy when the day comes for that precious bundle to come into the world, and happier still when we all get to see him, as we live in different states.

Hang in there, mom and son, we know you'll make it!  And know that we all love you, very much. :)
