The strings to my heart!

You've probably heard "there is a reason they call them grand". You've probably heard that they are so much better because "you can spoil them and send them home". I personally believe they are God's reward for not beating three big ole back-talking, mess-making, room-stinking, refrigerator-emptying boys half to death! But have you heard that they have strings to your heart that you never even knew existed?

I can't even put into words the joy that my grandchildren bring. No matter what is going on in my life, it's all irrelevant when either of them are in sight. Whether it's my rambunctious grandsons screaming Nonna..Nonna..when I pick them up at school; or a new video of our precious granddaughter cooing and trying to talk, my heart and my eyes fill up with joy. Even after eight years of being a grandparent, it just keeps getting better. It's nothing you can imagine, it can only be felt. It's an unexplainable emotion you never knew was there until it takes your breath away. If you have grandchildren, you totally understand. If you don't, you think all grandparents are loco! My wish for you is that you'll someday be blessed with this insanity. God is great and I am thankful.
