The day I became your Oma,

I knew how lucky I was to be there welcoming you into this world,

a world that can sometimes be cruel, but a world where you can see love by giving it!

I will protect you from being hurt and if you do, will be there to soothe you!

I can't wait for Sunday visits and little vacations, fishing for frogs and chasing butterflies.

Soon I will  teach you how to build stuff and fix things, how to paint and how to weld!

I will try to give you knowledge, teach you kindness and make you strong,

so when you start your race of life, I can be on the sideline cheering you on.

I will be there on your journey, being your biggest fan,

love always, Oma :)

Heaven on Earth

I raised my Children to learn

that love can't be bought,

that the time lost on the journey,

those days days unseen in hurry,

that moment wasted in worry and strife,

are the choices that held us back,

from getting closer finding the key,

that will unlock the door

to the gate of Heaven on Earth!

Love is...

...caring for someone deeply,

it's a steady, continuous stream

of giving and receiving,

safety and adventure,

dreaming and living,
comfort and dedication,

knowing and wondering!

Since the day I met you,

I know what...

...Love is!

I love you, babe!
