Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani
Because DD and I can't celebrate with our fave grandparent today, we want to wish my mom/DD's gramdma a happy Grandparent's Day.
* She saw DD born and actually held her before I did.
* As a toddler, DD called her "Guh" for the longest time.
* She taught DD to cross stitch and was the first to help her plant seeds.
* DD's first sleepover was at Grandma's house -- even though it was only over our garage.
* She shared nearly every moment of the first eight years of DD's life and it made an impact.
And we miss having her nearby.
Happy Grandparent's Day, mom!
