Grandchild number 4! A girl. Healthy. Six pounds 11 ounces. I can't wait to see her. I wanted to go the day she arrived, but I cannot get free. I will have to wait until this weekend to see her. I know the new parents (son number 3 + wife) are busy, overwhelmed, tired, stressed. I will not interfere. But how delightful!
I remember when my own bambinos arrived. From my first incredulous look at DJ to my still awed gaze at Drew, I was amazed that such life could have come from me. How does God do that? Build an entire person from two tiny pieces of interior stuff? Yet everytime the same parts arrive in the same incredible working order, yet always different.
I will look forward to getting to know little Shiloh Marie. She will be unlike Kelly or Katie or Ramseyes. She will be her own little person, a unique character with likes and dislikes, gifts and talents, aptitudes for just what she alone can do - just like my other darling grand children. I only wish I lived closer so that I could spend more time with these children.
I pray the prayer of all mothers everywhere. Lord, bless my babies and help them grow strong and good and loving. Amen.
