Yes I'm Back

No I haven’t been on vacation, just away from posting, so I guess the only reason for my absence is I just haven’t put my mind to post something that I think may be of interest. However as you read the postings on Lew & Kathy’s, Brett’s, and Beckie & Kevin’s blog its easy to get the feeling that there is more than a hint of interest and excitement building as they anticipate baby’s arrival.
However I do have something of interest I want to share in my posting as its not every day
that I get to anticipate what it will be like to be a Great Grandmother.
This special arrival will be the first of many things, first child, first grandchild, first time uncle, and first great grandchild. How special!! as we get to anticipate what this will be like.
Anticipation is different for each one, and I know Beckie has shared some of hers, but have you thought that baby may have anticipations too.
The following was sent to me by way of e-mail, and I feel it is very fitting to be included in this posting.

A Newborns Conversation With God
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said "your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said "Your angel will sing to you and will also smile for you, and you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy."
And again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you,?
God said your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I won’t see you anymore."
God said, " Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that time there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, " God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angels name."
God said you will simply call her , "Mom."

So this is for you Beck's, and all mothers.
