A Gramma's Love

Today I will begin a 5 day adventure staying with Bryson (3) and Connor (23 months) while my daughter is on vacation.   It reminded me that I want to write this post.

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend about her grandmother. I asked, "How was she like God?"  She answered immediately, "She loved me unconditionally." 

That is exactly what I want my grandchildren to say about me someday. I want them to know there is nothing they can do or say that will change my love for them. I could be disappointed, hurt or sad by their actions. Still love them! 

My teenage granddaughters like to ask me who I love more. Honestly, I can't choose. When I am holding Lily I don't think I could love anyone more. But when Bryson screams "MEEMAW" my heart overflows with love. And each of the 10 is special. I am even adding 3 more as my daughter has moved in with Joe and he has 3 boys. I am falling in love with them as well. 

I love you Chris, Breaunah, Ashleigh, Samantha, Hunter, JR, Bryson, Connor, Malachi, Lily! 

And God loves you too!
