Happy Birthday Two-Mama -
July 18
I was thinking of you yesterday on your birthday. Thinking of your life, how you went on to live for 40 years after your husband's death, moving in with your only child and her husband, helping around the house, cooking, helping with the 3 grandchildren, being the second mama (hence the name two-mama).
I wonder if those three kids know how blessed they were to have you there. Always there when they got home from school, being a part of the family. Or did they just take you for granted, assuming all families had that much love in one house?
That great-grandbaby (Melissa) you are holding in the swing is now grown with babies of her own, wish you could have met them. You only knew Carrie for a short time, both she and Melissa are all grown up, you would be proud of them. As for your only grandson, Buddy, he is working hard as always, just like his dad.
Wish you were here. Wish I had gotten to know you better. Wish I knew how you made that heavenly sweet potato cobbler - mmm. Wish you had been my two-mama growing up.
Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever.
