Grandma B. holding a picture of
our little Eleanor Marie.
My Gram would often say to all of us in our big family, "I'm so glad I have you." Now, I can say, I'm so glad we had her! The photo below was taken on October 23, 2004. The day after Ellie's Birth Day. At the time, my Gram was in the hospital, and not doing so well. She couldn't come to visit our little Eleanor herself, so my Mom brought pictures of our little girl. I remember when I came home with my new daughter, and saw this picture on our kitchen table. I started to weep (emotions were so strong and post pregnancy hormones were kicking in big time), thinking to myself, "What if our little Eleanor never gets to know her Great Grandma?" And now, I'm THANKFUL to say, that our little girl got to know her Great Grandma! For nearly five years, Great Grandma was consistently a part of little Eleanor's life. I'm so glad we were blessed to have my Grams for five more years! Thanks, God, for the gift of Gram's life!
