The Gift of Family

My Mother's Day
2018

 My mother has come such a long way since I was born 
.. This is me in her arms .. 

Back in the day ..
I am thinking  ~ 1961
This year we Celebrated her 80th birthday ..

 Many life Changes have happened this year 

.. my son .. moved to Switzerland .. with his beautiful wife .. Vanessa .. 

They expecting their first child ... and being so far away from home ..
My own mother gave birth to my two older sisters while living in Vena, Italy .. 

I have a better understanding how my grandmother felt

 .. missing holding those two little girls in her arms.. 

and when they returned home her name sake Bonnie my oldest sister did not know her .. 

I was born in Opelousas,  then we moved away .. 

but I always felt very close to my grandmother ..

Me and my Jamie ..

I  Always wanted to be a mother  

.. I must admit I never thought about being a grandmother 

.. But ..
What a Joy it is ..

 I love my little grands .. they are growing up so fast .. 

This weekend our oldest grand .. Jensen .. Graduated from High School
And Joined the Army
We are so Proud of Him

 .. I Inherited many grand from taking Mr. Man's hand in marriage .. in 2003 

Our Jensen was three .. then the others came .. while we were together ..

And then we have some .. from other mother's
.. But we still hold them in our hearts ... 

Let the Celebration's Began

My Daughter and her family invited us to Henry's guitar recital .. his sports banquet being the same night and almost at the same time .. they needed to be in two places at the same time .. Henry 13 ..

We were requested to come sit with Hannah .who is 9.. What an honored guest .. anytime I get to be with my little grands .. Oh to have them hold Gram-Me's hand .. Their love is held deeply in my heart ..

Followed by a Beautiful Dinner at Zeas in Lafayette ... My beautiful daughter so much like me

Although she won't admit it .. lol .. it is more than looks .. when I was her age I was much like her ..
Busy with so many things 

 

Sunday Morning .. I woke up to my protein coffee

And received a video Chat with my Jeremy and Vanessa
With their precious Amelia .. Oh how my heart melts .. I can't wait to hold her ..
