I love being a grandmother. Today my 18 month old grandson called. Let me tell you the story. This morning, he had to have a medical test. When his mom and dad dropped by the office, I went outside to see him and he was sleeping peacefully, so I didn’t disturb him.

I later called his dad and asked him to pick up something from my house and bring it to me at the office. When his dad left, our grandson asked his mom where dad was going. She said, “he’s going to Mormor’s and then to work.” Later, I received a phone call at work. Karin said that our grandson said “Mormor, Mormor” and his mom explained that Mormor was at work. So he brought her the phone and said, “call…call Mormor.” His mom called to explain, and I talked to him on the phone. He said a few words, then “bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye” and hung up the phone. I smiled. He made my day. 

What a wonderful gift to be loved by a child. They accept you and love you just as you are. They make your days happy. Yes, children require a lot of work. But, at the end of your day, your heart is full as you think of your family and the gift that they are.

What stories can you share with us about your children, grandchildren, neices, nephews? How does your family show love?
