My family continues to grow and grow. Every year we seem to welcome new souls into our family circle. Children marry, friends are adopted into our family and even some pets join the circle, and then grandchildren our born and our circle of love just keeps expanding and expanding.
It's only the beginning of March and I have already welcomed two new babies into my life and into our family circle. Both boys born four weeks apart. They are a blessing to all of us and each a sweet little soul with their own looks and characteristics. One has an older brother and one an older sister so they will both be the "little" brothers in their families.
Life is full of wonders and mysteries and so much love. Love is what brings warmth to our hearts and joy to our lives. There can never be enough love and yet there is always enough. The more there is to love the larger our hearts expand with that love.
When I gaze into the eyes of my new born grandchildren I can't help but feel the love and then wonder what gifts they will be to this world. I am thankful they are healthy and have loving parents to give them all the necessities of life and surround them in that unexplainable parental love. That unconditional love that we all have for our children.
When I play with my older grandchildren who are two and three I can't help but love them more and more as they each develop their own little personalities. They are so open and honest with their feelings and they share their love openly with lots of hugs cuddles and giggles.
My oldest grandson has been staying with me these past three days while his Mom and Dad were in hospital welcoming in his new little brother. As we packed up his bag this morning I told him he was going home to sleep with Daddy tonight. Now I know inside he was ecstatic to be going home because he has asked every night for his parents, but what did my sweet little three year old say to me "Oh I'm sorry Nana, I will miss you. Sadie will miss you too because we love you so much" Now if that doesn't bring a tear to one old Nana's eyes nothing ever will. He gave me a big hug.
So now we shall head out and have one of Nana's adventure days together and then I shall return him to his family my heart filled with love that hopefully will last me through these next few days til I get some more Nana cuddles from one of my littles that so bless my life.
Love its what we all need, its what our world needs and it comes in so many forms that there has to be enough for all people. We are all so very different and live such different lives but we all need to open our hearts and open our circles and let our circle of love just grow and grow for all people everywhere.
Ah my heart is filled to overflowing with love from all the blessings in my life...i am one very happy, love filled Nana.
