I met my granddaughter, Jillian, this afternoon and it was love at first sight. Jillian looks almost identical to what her mama (my daughter) looked like when she was born, and a flood of fond memories of that day more than 26 years ago when I went through labor and welcomed a baby girl into the world came rushing over me. I remembered, too, how hard it was to be the new mama!
Dear God, please help me be of maximum service to this new little family while I'm here staying with them, and always. And thank you for the gift of Jillian.

May peace be upon us all
Awww, love the photos.
