It has been a year and a half since my mother passed on. I have many precious memories of the time spent with her after she moved here to be closer to family. Among my favorites are the ways my granddaughters spent time with her.aged hands, once slender
and graceful..... lemon lotion,
tiny hands, big smiles!
Then there are the memories of first contacts with your own grandchildren:
rose petal sweetness
lips to cheek, grand baby in my
arms - time, stand still!
And the daily contact that sweetens the day......
sweet breath on my cheek
lapping like waves on the shore
of the dawning day
