Lots and Locks of Love

      I remember when I received the phone call that we were expecting our first grandchild. I was absolutely moved to tears. As excited as I was at the news, I had no idea just how grand being a grandmother would be.

     We now have three grand girls. Grand they are each in their own unique way. Haley is now twelve, Megan nine and Lily almost two,

      Haley is very quite, private an avid book reader, musician, and dancer. Every year she grows her thick hair long and donates it to Locks of Love. (Locks of Love is an organization that provides wigs for children in need under the age of 21 years.) It is a wonderful and loving gesture for such a young one.

     My most favorite picture is that of the “Hat Girls.” Haley and Megan were visiting just as I began my chemo treatments. They were “helping” me get dressed and spontaneously popped hats on their heads. It was a very encouraging moment for me.

      Megan is outgoing, strong willed, loves chess, singing, martial arts and being the center of attention. She as older sister has set a goal to contribute to Locks of Love.

      Always the helpers, they eagerly joined Papa Dan and Nana in painting their backyard fence. They did a great job with those little hands. Of course, we were just thrilled to spend time with them.



      Then there is Lily. It is a perfect name for her meaning; innocence, purity and beauty. Even at her young age, her strong personality shines throw. She is also strong willed and quick witted. She is equally adored by her two brothers and two sisters.

      Although they are so different they shine in their own ways. Their commonality is love and compassion for others. They quarrel as all siblings do, but woe to anyone that appears threatening! Without a spoken word, they immediately band together.

      Along with the grand girls we are blessed with four grand boys who show promise of great men. As grandparents do, I often wonder just how they will impact the world individually and corporately. No doubt they will make it a better place!

     As grandparents do, I often wonder just how they will impact the world individually and corporately. No doubt they will make it a better place! A biased proud grandmother you say? Yep!

Working Girls!

     The righteous who walks in His integrity blessed are his children after him!
