The Sky

Another song,

I recently copied the pictures on Amber's camera to my computer, as a way to not only have her camera backed up, but to also have copies

of our grandson's life to that point.

I saw some great pictures of a storm that they took one night

that started me thinking.

I realized that

as we have traveled through our "storm", we were not as alone as I thought.

There is a song by a Christian group The Afters that sing a song called Light Up The Sky.

The line that sticks with me is,

"You light up the sky to show me

you are with me"

 Sometimes the light ahead is beautiful.

When my daughter was little she always reminded me of my grandma Marie. Grandma was a happy person who was quick with a joke and loud with a laugh. As children, we always knew when grandma had a joke to tell because us youngsters were asked to leave the room. We knew we could return to the room when we heard the adults laugh. Grandma liked to tease, and she always had a gleam in her eye.  I saw this often in my daughter.

Now I see these same traits in my grandson. Even though he is not yet 2, he likes to be silly and make people laugh. You know he is going to tease and be ornery when he gets that little gleam in his eye. You have to be quick because he may do sometining unknowingly harmful.  He pretended to put a laundry pod in the washing machine, but then bit into it to tease his mother.  This ended up with a trip to the emergency room. I did not see this happen, but I know he definately had that little look in his eye.

It is amazing to me to see different traits passed on to the next generation. I can't wait to meet my grandaughter in August when she is born. I am sure she will be as amazing as her brother.
