Sheila.....

Cute little story about my 3 1/2 granddaughter Tia. She came to visit and Ed was sleeping off that belly pain. She wanted to see her Grandpa Ed (she has grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents so names are vital for her). I reminded her that when she was sick last time she needed to sleep and be left alone, she did not want to even talk to anyone, she could not eat.

After reminding her of the importance that Grandpa Ed stay sleeping because then his belly did not hurt, she said:

"But Grandma, he is my grandfather", (reminded her why he needed to be in bed) then she repeated it for me!!

"But grandma, he is my grandfather, he is sick and I Loooooooove Himmmmm!!". Guess where that little bugger ended up? Yessir, she gave her Grandpa Ed a big hug when he woke up!!

The little miracles in life, the joys of just being alive and able to hug this small wonder. By the way, she looks just like my son only with blonde hair, when I see her I cannot put aside how she looks like daddy!!>>Believe51

PS. Ed said when he goes in for the next scan to see how the brain mets are he wants the doctor to drill some holes in his head to let the voices out!! ROTFL!! So it looks like bowling is an option if you are not good at pool!! LOL

Love Always>>Believe51
