How do they grow up so fast?


 

Sometimes it catches me by surprise how fast Cash and Colby are growing up.

 "No growing while you sleep, okay? It’s not allowed. No getting big while I'm not looking."   

A grandma's poem

It seems that grandmas always need
A little one to hold;
To kiss and love with all their hearts,
To shelter from the cold.
It gives me so much pleasure
When you sit upon my knee.
To know as I grow older
You will always keep me company.
I'll tell you lots of stories;
I'll sing you lullabies.
And you will know I love you more
With each beautiful day that goes by.
I used to hold your daddy
And hug and kiss him too.
I love him very much you know
The same way he loves you.
I used to wish that he could stay
My baby all his life.
But God intended for my little boy
To grow up to be a husband and a daddy.
And that's why He make grandchildren -
To fill the empty gap.
It would be such a lonely world without you.
Come - sit on grandma's lap.
~ Donna M. Bussey

I love Cash and Colby so much.  
I'm thankful they only live a few miles away. 
I'm thankful that I can see them often. 
I'm thankful to be their grandma.
