I well
remember how I felt when I heard other kids talk about their
grandmothers.? I wondered how it felt to have a grandma with
whom you could spend nights or weekends.? I thought it would
be nice to climb upon her lap and have her tell me stories
or sing a song, just for me.? From that day to this, I feel
I missed a lot as I didn't get the chance to meet either one
of my grandmothers.
One of
my playmates whom I shall call Carolyn? stayed with her
grandmother a lot since her Mother worked as well as her
Father.? Sometimes, she was not too kind to this lady and I
recall telling her that if I had a grandmother I would love
her too much to sass her.
My
father's mother, Mary, passed away when my dad was only
eleven years old so I was deprived of his Mother but not as
much as he was.? My Mother's Mom, Sarah, passed away one
year before I was born so I didn't get to know her, either.
In my
mind, I have always felt that if I lived long enough that I
would possibly be a grandmother, someday.? In time to come,
this dream has come to a reality.? I have two lovely
granddaughters who are the love of my life as well as one
step grandson and one step granddaughters so God has given
me a lot to live for.
It is my
prayer that my grandchildren will relish the time that we
have spent together, making memories.
