Just Call Me Grandma!!!!

Yesterday appeared to be a normal day...but by no stretch of the imagination did it end up that way. Looking back I don't think I can ever remember feeling so much joy. Everyone should have that experience!

What made me so happy? Well, my son, who will be 27 years old next week and his beautiful wife, sent me a very special gift in the mail to be delivered by a dear friend. I entered the YMCA for my normal Monday night workout when I was approached by my friend who delivered this special gift. I thought surely it was a belated birthday card, but I was ever so wrong. My gift was a book prepared by my daughter-in-law on behalf of her and my son, to give me some very good news. The book read as follows:

Grandma,

I can't wait to meet you!!

I thought I'd make a book to

tell you a little about me.

I will be your grandkid, the first in the family.

The Doctor says I'm growing big,

I'm over an inch long.

My Mom and Dad listened to my heart.

It's beating very strong.

Soon you'll get to hold

and cuddle me.

It will be in September

probably on day three.

You can read me stories

and spoil me to all ends

I can't wait to meet you!

We'll be the best of riends.

Love,

Baby Porter

In tears I ran out of the YMCA, forget the workout! It was time to enjoy my awesome news! I was going to be a Grandma! I could not stop crying tears of joy. I think I cried all evening and into the night. Today I am walking on cloud nine, sharing my beautiful brag book with all who will read it.

I'm so proud that I am going to be a Grandmother! I can't wait to look into the little eyes, tickle the little nose, hold the small hands and kiss the cute feet of my grandchild. Pure pleasure is the best way to describe how I feel!

Now, I will be anxiously await the arrival......
