I think some people thought it was a little crazy for me to fly down to take my kids to spend time with their grandmother every 3 months for 4 years, it was worth it.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727100640041141609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060908458893026660.post-29778490758509526032012-07-10T11:59:22.770-05:002012-07-10T11:59:22.770-05:00My oh my oh my!

All of the great-grandparents in our family are gone now gone, but the kids did get to know and love one set and it was as you describe magically for everyone involved. They still talk about them today, and we plant zinnias, their favorite annual, every summer to enjoy and remind us of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060908458893026660.post-506171165543813282012-07-07T11:25:49.437-05:002012-07-07T11:25:49.437-05:00Beautiful and while I am glad for you I am also ve...Beautiful and while I am glad for you I am also very jealous. My Mom, Amara's only living great grandparent is in Michigan and they have only met once over webcam.

I'm just hoping for the cake years before I am too old and feeble to pick the little ones up and toddle to the rocker with them. :0)Janice Engleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884933600717290281noreply@blogger.com
