Nana

It's one of those weekends where I have decided to spend the weekend scrapbooking. I ran cross this photo and was inspired... Actually, I was listening to this sermon and the pastor was talking about how his father had given his granddaughter $100.00. He said,"I'm still waiting for my $100.00". I can relate... No, I'm not waiting for my $100.00, but the part that I could relate to is he said, that grand parents are parents on steriods. Yes, they are!!! My mom fits that to a model T. When it comes to her grand children... She would give them the world if she could...
No, really. I remember nights when it was after 12:00 and I saw her go into the kitchen to get them something to eat. I thought she was crazy... I told her she should tell them that the kitchen is closed, but she would never hear of it. When they get sick, I hear that's not how Nana does it. Now that I am home they still prefer to go up to be with her in their time of need... One time , I remember how Jessica wanted some cereal, so I went to make it for her and she insisted on having the box that was sealed because she wanted the surpise in it. I thought that was crazy and told her no... Of course, I was told she's allowed to have whatever she wants when she is here. The kids have no idea of how lucky they are to have a Nana like her.
A few weeks ago, I was taking care of my grandmother. I started to remember how she use to take me to the market and at the end of the trip she would always buy me fruit.... Different generations... Now, I think back on it that was her special way. I remember meeting her at the movie theater to see Ghostbuster. That was long ago. Those times are very special to me now... But getting back to my mom... She steps into the gap when it comes to them.... (Parents on steriods) She understands them when I don't. Anything that they need she will find a way to get it for them.
Her and I were listen to the news one day and they were talking about the going price for childcare... Thank goodness she's not sue happy!!! Think of it this way the going rate x3 x 15 years. I would be in some serious trouble. (If your reading this don't get any ideas. ) I've been blessed with an Awesome mother and the kids with an exceptional Nana. She deserves the Grandparents of the year award if their was one to give out.
Jasmine, Anthony and Jessica should treasure their time with her and write down all of their memories because take it from me as you get older you can't remember the story exactly as it was told you by them. For me, I try and perserve these things, so that they can be carried on into the next generation...

Hey, their better not be any tears out there!!!

Well, gotta run...

I've gotta go and find a cd that I haven't seen in months. I was listening to this song this morning and it reminded me of a photo cd that I had put together for my mom a year or two go...

I want to see if I am able to post it to my blog.
