Person:my grandson
When I found out that I was a grandmother I remember being so excited and I could not wait to see my grandson. When I got to see him for the first time he was already 2 and a half years old. It was this last Thanksgiving and I could not wait for him to get here. Just hearing him call me grandma for the first time just made me want to cry. He is si beautiful and your grandchildren are like your own. You know that they are a part of you and you love them like your own. Now when I talk to him on the phone we really enjoy hearing each others voice. They grow up so fast and you really have to enjoy every moment that you can. I can't wait for my son and his family to move down and be closer to me. I really want the chance to be the best grandmother that I can. It is a real special feeling to be a grandparent and you can be a real help in their journey in this world. I do hope I get a granddaughter as well. But if not grandsons will have to do and I will love them all the same any way no matter which it is. This is a part of my life that I really want to enjoy and do the best that I can and be a real good grandparent.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
