Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2004OTP For Grandmothers
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God replied,"Among the angels, I'll choose one for you. Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile and be happy" God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy." Again the child asked,"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and your angel will teach you how to speak. "What am I going to do when I want to talk to You?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray." "I've heard that on earth there are bad people. Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." And God answered, "Her name is not important. You will simply call her "Grandma"  Signature******************************************************* When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves. - Anthony J.

I'm five years younger than he is and my oldest grandson is 16. My brothers first grandchild is due November 6.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Jo (((((((((((((((((((((jo and his wife))))))))))))))))))))) it is strange sometimes, how something very special can be acutely sad and so wonderful at the same time. barb only had one child. he and his wife married just before barb passed away. winslow is her first grandchild too. she was so looking forward to being a grandmother someday. i'm sure your brother was looking forward to being a father too. your brother will be an angel dad, like barb is an angel grandma now. hope i'm still around when winslow gets older, so that i can tell him about his fiesty grandma in her younger days. i keep thinking maybe i should write up some of the wonderful, and sometimes hilarious, barbara stories for him. kate Thank you. I needed that. My granddaughter is the light of my life. Though she is only 18 months old, we have a connection that I never could have imagined. I found out this week that my son may be relocating to the other side of the country. I've been worried that I will no longer be a significant part of her life. This story helps me believe that Grandma will always be an important role, no matter how far the distance. Janet N. > Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

But this week he stated that 4 storms were enough for them and they are thinking of returning to earthquake country. <g> |
