Miracle of Life

When my children were born, way back in the early 60's, somehow, I knew that I would be a grandmother someday, and, I am. My daughter and son blessed me with 6 grandchildren, with the first and now oldest, Niki, who became my little "Angel" when she was born; her brother, Justin, now 22 1/2 and their little brother Jayson, now 9, and my son with his 3 girls, Hannah almost 16, Sarah and Jessica. Through these almost 25 years of being a "grammy", I knew that as my oldest grandchildren got older and I was still feeling pretty young, I couldn't quite reach the "great grammy" level. Maybe it's because being a GREAT anything meant, to me, OLD, which is the furthest from any truth I know.
Well, God does wonders and miracles do happen. Anybody and everybody I see since yesterday 11-21-08, whether I know them or not, I say, "well, I have some good news for you today, I just became a GREAT GRAMMY for the first time". After their eyes get big at my surprise and good news, they too are happy and I realize that I've made their day as well and they leave my store happier than when they came in!
Hayden Pierce Stamps was brought into the world on Thursday, November 21st, 2008, weighing in at a hefty 7lbs. 8oz and a studly 20" long! I must say I'm very proud and am feeling emotional, grateful and truly blessed with this miracle of life coming to our family. It is especially nice since I was able to marry my grandson, Justin and his wife Meghan a year ago June 2007.
Take a look at this bundle of joy and this Thanksgiving be thankful for the smallest of things.
