This group of quotes for Gma’s birthday book does not need any explanation from me.
There are more quotes to come of course – from some of the bigger ‘kids’ – but I will save those for tomorrow night after the boat cruise. Suffice it to say that these children’s words, enclosed in her book (and rather brilliantly photographed by me – ha!) have culminated in the most beautiful, mutual, unshakable hug of family.
Oh, I can’t resist: here is Jared’s (Meg’s second grandchild):

What a woman she is, and what influence she has had on her grandchildren!
Yes and thank you!
Could you spare a tissue?
Okay!
Such heartfelt words and beautifully illustrated.
Feeling a bit remiss re catching up with other people’s blogs so am very grateful for this – thank you!
Hey, we know how topsy turvy your life can be. Do not worry!
What lovely thoughts from babes to their ‘grandmas’. I know they are truly touched.
Been a bit unbloggy so have resubscribed now – thank you Renee!
Just……beautiful.
This 80th will have a thousand memories all wrapped up in one volume – and that’s not just the words and photos. It’ll be the spiritual memories of a very special lady and her loving family.
How lucky she is.
Thanks so much Vicki and sorry to have lost touch a bit with your blog – will be back on board re blogging soon and I really appreciated your amazing support and empathy. You are one in a million. Julie xxx
