great and grand

Once a mother always a mother. The job duties may change but the caring never stops. I love how we add words to the job title. It is as if we are being promoted to the next level of wisdom. Mother, GRAND mother and GREAT grandmother. To be great and grand what an accomplishment! The smiles here show what great and grand must feel like. For this mother her name was shortened to just GG to stand for how great and grand she is. She says it's because great grandmother is just too many words for little ones to speak. But Love doesn't need to be spoken.

Those pictures are priceless! Owen was able to meet his great grandmother this past weekend and it was so special! I know how you feel! Thanks for sharing!

My little ones, Gillian and Shelby, call my grandmother "GG" and it is so heartwarming. She has Alzheimers and lives in a memory care unit of an assisted living facilty now. She simply lights up whenever she sees her great-grandbabies! Her mind does not always know who we are, but her "heart" recognizes us!
