~GOD'S GIFT...GRANDDAUGHTERS...~

Here she is.  All the way from Georgia...

 She is Kristy, my Sandy's daughter.  We lost her mom and my eldest daughter two years ago in February and it seems like yesterday.

 She brought me love, smiles and tears..
We talked about things that were funny and we talked about her mother and we cried.
She is the eldest of my 14 grandchildren and the mother of my first grandson, Jaden and later a little granddaughter, Katie.
We were in hallway in our pajama's  when she was trying to show me how to take a "selfie"..didn't work of course. :)
I hated to see her go back to Georgia. 
I could not have a sweeter or more loving or more understanding granddaughter..

 I have six granddaughters and all are as loving as Kristy.
Am I lucky...or what.?
She was going to help me with the Fairy Garden but we got distracted.

You can see her comment under "Two Kiddo's"on my last post.
She is 3000 miles away from me..but right in my heart.

Love,
Mona

    Your granddaughter is a beautiful woman, just like her grandma. I'm sure the memories you shared were bittersweet, but oh, what a gift too! You have been through much in your life, but your love for your family shows in everything you post!

    Oh-There is just something about granddaughters, isn't there? I hope I live long enough to see mine grown and married and happy-in-life. You are blessed indeed. I am sure seeing her was bittersweet and made you think of your angel in heaven. She is a beautiful girl-just like her Mama was. xo Diana

    I am so happy that you got to spend time with your granddaughter. I am afraid that I won't live that long to see Kelly get married and have children. You are so lucky to have such beautiful grandchildren.
    So glad that you had time together to laugh, cry and love.
    Mary
