When we were growing up, my mother mentioned more than once that she wasn't really crazy about having children . . . she'd help raise 5 sisters and a brother . . . figured she'd had enough. I was always a little confused about why she said this because she did little to "prevent" pregnancy . . . obviously had 2 girls! And it's not like she didn't love us.
That said, she LOVED her grandchildren . . . there no doubt in my mind that she would have loved you!
She came to church with me a few times over the years after we moved to Knoxville, and on occasion, while she was there, I'd get stuck in the nursery . . . she'd always help out. She never minded holding a tiny one in the nursery, and they all seemed to love her.
When your mom and Auntie E were little, she'd hold them for hours at a time . . . as long as they'd sit with her, she'd hold them.
Even though she's not here to enjoy watching you grow, I know she's keeping an eye on you from above. I am positive she would have loved hanging out with you in the nursery at church.
There's a set of twins in the nursery that think you're pretty interesting . . . every time I put you in one of the cribs, they rush over to check out the situation! You talk to them, and they talk to you . . . but I have no idea what you're saying to each other! I personally think they try to figure out ways to help you escape!!
