I really enjoyed hearing your perspective on motherhood. I just put my youngest in school and it was extremely hard for me. She is 4 and we have a wonderful relationship. Thanks for being a great example to all the other moms reading this. <BR/>Angela in AKThe Dean Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17510477179780710764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-92004485724494729542008-01-22T20:30:00.000-06:002008-01-22T20:30:00.000-06:00Beautiful post!

Wait until you become a grandmother!!! My heart can barely contain the additional measure of love I have. It makes a heart so full to overflowing. I try to wrap my head around God loving me more than this, and I get lost. I am so thankful. And yes, ALL children are a gift of God on loan to us to cherish and treasure as we raise them to know and love the One who created them. A FULL CIRCLE of Gods love.<BR/><BR/>Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-91337048890279103522008-01-22T10:12:00.000-06:002008-01-22T10:12:00.000-06:00This post brought tears to my eyes.

My heart is so full, and I can't believe how much I can love her without ever having seen her face-to-face. I cannot wait to meet her.<BR/>Thank you for such a sweet picture of motherhood.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474482787326052160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-76317328540665204012008-01-22T01:25:00.000-06:002008-01-22T01:25:00.000-06:00Beautiful post Trish!!

To watch them grow from little infants to young teenagers then adults is such an incredible experience. Those years will pass ever so quickly, but, for those of us who are fortunate enough, we then become grandmothers and there is just no way I can describe that feeling except that with my first one I stayed up calling all my friends even at 2 in the morning because I was sooo excited. He is now 31 years old and in the military in Ranger training. Even though he is married he still comes to me and tells me things that are in his heart and we have the best conversations and the fact that he continues to confide in me, makes my heart full of joy. Now he has given me a great-grandson, 9 months old, and I have the priviledge of caring for him as my granddaughter-in-law is back in school to get her R.N. <BR/>So Trish, love, hold and treasure each day with your sweet precious children and look forward with anticipation to having their children to love on and care for. Oh what a gift He gives us with our children.<BR/>I love to read about your times with your children and what fun you have together.<BR/>Love and prayers~~~JanieceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-8640135254254445862008-01-21T22:37:00.000-06:002008-01-21T22:37:00.000-06:00Terrific post!
