June will be a month of miracles for me. I will be flying to Madison, Wisconsin to be with my daughter Aria as she gives birth to her first child, my first grandchild. In preparation for being away all of June, I have organized and pre written all my blogposts for this month. I will try to take advantage of this time to catch up with things I have failed to blog about before. At the same time I would like to start off the month with this poem which seems to say what I have in my Grandma-to-be heart.
Happy month of June everyone!
A month of miracles for our family and I hope for yours too!
A Grandma's Wish
" If I were granted just one wish, I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd wish my kids were small again,for just a month or two.
To hear their squeals of laughter, to watch them when they play,
And when they ask me to join in, I'd NOT say, "not today."
To hug again their chubby frame, to kiss away their tears,
And cherish childhood innocence that's washed away the years.
Then when it's story time again, I'd stay a little longer,
To answer questions, sing their songs, so memories would be stronger.
But time is callous, wishes, myth, yet God in all his wisdom,
Has given me another chance, before I join his kingdom.
The face may not be just the same, the name is changed, 'tis true,
But yet the smile that radiates, reminds me so of you.
God must have known that grandma, would need a chance or two,
For many little happy things, she hadn't time to do.
So God gave love to Grandmas, to equal that before,
That in effect embraces, those little lives she bore." -Author unknown

Universe Closed Use Rainbow
"When you get stranded,
the way to start moving
again is not to
search for an answer
but to find a new question
to which your life
can be the answer." Jennifer Krause

The Space Between

that gives it form and shape." - Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness

Sarah and Owen's Wedding May 2, 2015
It was a perfect late afternoon in early May for a wedding. The air was warm and the blue sky, clear. Many of my friends (fellow teachers) and I gathered together to witness the marriage of our dear friend Sarah to Owen. Sarah worked for several years at our elementary school. First as one of our aides, then later, after she received her teaching credential, as a substitute teacher. We all love Sarah so much and were thrilled to be at her wedding to celebrate this joyful occasion. Here are some photos of this happy day.
