Becoming a grandma

8/28/2011

1 Comment

 
Callie Lynn Berry was born after a very short labor Saturday night at 8:26pm.  It was love at first sight.  I am so proud of Jenna and Michael they are already wonderful parents.  When the family gathered at the hospital we were nothing more than a family,  all the past, all the hurts, the divorce the disappointments all down the drain.  Welcoming a new member of the family sort of makes me want to be my best self and rise above any pettiness.  I wanted to be there, i wanted to be the first to hold her....I wanted to be the most important... but i soon let go of that and realized this little lady has a ton of people who will love and adore her and that is suddenly all that matters.

I was so amazed at what you wrote and made me think of myself too. It sometimes is hard to put everyone else aside when such an important occasion occurs. I wish at times things could be very different than they are. My best wishes to you and yours.
