Grandparent's Love

Jane Braun

A wee bit of heaven drifted down from above - A handful of happiness, a heart full of love. The mystery of life, so sacred and so sweet. The giver of joy, so deep and complete. Precious and priceless, so lovable too. The world’s sweetest miracle, my grandchild, is you. - Helen Steiner Rice

There’s and old comedic line, that goes something like this: If I knew grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them first. We love being grandparents, to see the continuation of joy and love in our family. For us, it has been wonderful watching our children become loving parents. We look forward to many more grandchildren. They are truly God’s blessing.

My name is Gwen Hovland. I am 78 years old and grandmother to teenagers Cadence (14) and Kylan (12). They flood my soul with light and laughter! I remind them of their “old country inheritance”freedom of faith, honesty, hard work, black licorice, red cowboy boots, Dakota Rodeos, secret Norske strawberry pie recipes and finally, this: “ When you get a chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.” - Gud Verlsigne.U.

The mother-child bond is special, but the bond between a grandmother and grandchild? Unbreakable. I have enjoyed all 6 of my grandchildren since they were born. Unforgettable.

Fred and Holly Koorey

Raising our children was the single most rewarding experience of our long lives. Being a grandparent means rediscovering and enjoying the joys of those years. You get to see the world through their eyes and are reminded of so many wondrous things by answering their innocent questions. When we are with the grandchildren, the meaning of life becomes crystal clear, and the reason for living is self-evident.

Bill and Megan Stanley

Having our granddaughter, Stevie, is the best, especially for Megan, who always wanted a girl. She brings so much joy and laughter to our already crazy family!

Suzanne ‘Mimi’ Manuel

Being ‘Mimi’ to Luke & Josh is one of the greatest blessings of my life. They are fun, they are smart, and they are great chocolate chip cookie makers. They now know ‘Mimi’s’ “secret” recipe! They are my “Golden” boys from Golden, Colorado.

Iam so blessed to have 5 grands! 3 girls and 2 boys. They are everything to me. Smart, funny, fun, kind, loving, generous of heart ... and mostly, they love me! Madeleine, George, Penelope, Makenzie & Rhys.

Oppa was late into the office yesterday ... Dr. Kora was in the house. With all solemnity, a thorough exam was undertaken ... eyes, ears, heart-beat .. all were fully examined. Prescriptions were made ... and with one last hammer-test of the reflexes (and then another & another & another - the doctor just wanted to be complete with this particular test), Oppa was released to work. In one simple moment, all things are possible at once ... and as a grandparent there is nothing more beautiful than being a part of that exam ... Oppa might be late again, tomorrow!
