Grandma Ginny with Little Jane


Byo-O bye-o little baby
Close your little baby eyes
You are mommy's little baby
You are daddy's little prize.
This is just a post to say a few words about grandma. A widow for 46 of her 90 years, she as been our determined, beautiful matriarch. As she nears the end of her life, she told me what she thought was most important. She said she didn't care about what church callings she had, or what people had thought of her. She just wanted to be a good mother. She loves her family with a love so strong it has kept her alive beyond her years.

Grandma loves Jane. Even before Jane was born, they had a special connection. I cannot help but hope that Grandma will watch over Jane for many years to come. I don't think Grandma will be with us much longer, so we will cherish these quiet moments.
