A Grandchilds Place

I received a picture frame as a gift a little while back that has a saying at the top of it "Just when you think your heart is full...Along comes a Grandchild." It imediately made sense to me as I had allready experienced that very thought. (6 times over)
When you have a child, especially that very first time you hold your baby in your arms, and you look down into that tiny scrunched up face, your heart swells, and mere words cannot describe the totallity of the emotions running rampant through your heart and mind.
You cannot imagine how you could have possibly considered your life to be complete before that moment. You cannot imagine a more pure, unconditional love than this in your life. You nurture, you teach, you worry and try to give guidance. You never really ever let go. You can't imagine how you could ever possibly love another person more and that there is any more "room" for love in your heart.
And then......Along comes a GrandChild! Your heart feels like it ready to burst, and you wonder 'where did all this emotion and love' come from? How could I possibly have this much more love to give? It is the most amazing experience in the world. I can honestly say that I feel truly blessed to be the Grandmother of 6 amazing children. The oldest most recently turned 14 (OMG) and the youngest just over 2 years old. I spend the most time with the youngest one as he is the one around "full time" and most accessible to me. He is an old soul in a little guys body (truly). He can ride a 4 wheeler, a 2 wheel bike (with training wheels of course)and a skateboard! He can count to 13 say (most) of his abc's and sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star! He entertains me hours on end and I am constantly trying to think of things to do to keep him entertained. I could not imagine my life without him in it. I feel like sometimes I must have done something right, because I am being rewarded with Dakota, Abby, Max, Sidnie, Seth and Slayder. I was at the hospital when Dakota was born (of course!he was my first!) and not for any of the others except Slayder. I had the honor of being able to be there for his birth and got to hold him just minutes after he was born. It was the defining moment in his and my relationship, as I felt my heart was melded to his forever.
Alot of people would feel "old" or teased when someone calls them a"Grandma", but me,......I feel complete.
