On June 7, 2005 I became a grandmother for the first time. I cannot tell you what an emotional time this has been for me. Other than having my own daughter, this was one of the happiest moments of my life. She is, of course, one of the most beautiful little girls in the world. I cannot tell you what it feels like to see your baby holding her baby. It is strange because my daughter in 28 years old. That is the same age I was when I had her. But she seems so much younger. Maybe that's just the way it seems. I'm sure she feels older than I see her.
As I stood at the nursery window watching my beautiful granddaughter, I was not alone. I could feel her grandfather, my husband, standing there next to me. Unfortunately, he was only there in spirit. Her grandfather had died on September 20, 1997. This is even more tragic because he so looked forward to having grandchildren. I know he was looking down from heaven smiling but his loss was felt deeply.
This is my attempt to pass some things on to my beautiful Serif. I want her to know about my life with her grandfather. I may even go into some memories of my own for her. I want to pass this on to her. Please be patient with me while I try to put my feeling and thoughts in this blog.

Don't forget we also gave birth at the same hospital. I am so glad you are doing this.
Yay G! I am so proud of you.
