Never Grow up

Dear Alexis, Mason, Lily, Olivia & JT,

I know you are excited about it. I know it is the way it is supposed to be. I know you are learning good things. I know you are sharing & giving of yourselves to the world.  I know it's what is best…..

but, please…….. "NEVER GROW UP!"

I love to sing songs with you Alexis. I love your good heart and bike smile Mason. I love to read the countless love notes Lily. I love to hear your stories of a 5-year old's life Olivia. I love to fold your little underwear and socks JT.

Love you forever and always,

Mom

p.s. I loved taking you to Grandma Gussy's. She is a special woman – a gentle giant. My grandma is a meek and mild woman whom I never heard raise her voice or speak negatively. She met life with a serviceable hand and is still eager with a tender smile. She quilted all 40+ of her grandchildren quilts when they graduated from High School, even when in the end she could barely see. Her testimony has governed & guided her the past 90+years. She is patient in her recent afflictions. – I want to be like her when I GROW UP.
