I know you have been walking along with your great grand children they are all growing up and becoming beautiful young adults.
Sarah,Curriece, McKenzie, Elizabeth, Zachary, and a new little boy is on the way. Please be his angel as he enters this crazy world!
Your first great granddaughter , Sarah. Gloria Renee's baby girl
Long before Sarah was born, you gave her a piece of your heart.
Your fine precious great granddaughter you loved her from the start.
I know that you have been here for her, each and every day.
Sarah is growing into this beautiful young lady that is in college now and reminds us of you in every way.
You would be as proud of her as we all are.
She is your biggest brightest Star.
I'm getting older now, No longer a child, Not yet an adult, But a girl trying to carve a path for herself
I'm learning to make my own choices, Molding a future with my bare hands, Learning how to step out, Despite the shaky ground
I no longer need to be held tight in your embrace, But crave an independence, One that lets me explore my hunger for this world, A world full of hidden meanings
But sometimes I fall, As I struggle to take in the world before me, Overwhelmed by the bigger picture, The adulthood that lays ahead
And it must be hard for you to accept, That I'm building a life for myself, Making mistakes that you cannot cure,
Curriece came next, Joseph's pride and joy. We call her Riece, and we all love her to piece. She has the heart of gold. and she can be very Bold. She's smart, caring, loving, responsible and loves life! Curriece is still in High School and she just got her drivers license. We know you will be her guardian angel and she discovers this world.
I am growing up, Daddy Don't you see? You gotta let me go Let me spread my wings I am growing up, Daddy Don't you see? Gonna explore the world, Daddy Gonna be seen Let me go, Daddy I will come back to see, See you and Mommy on those summer eves, You gotta let me go, Daddy Please set me free? Mom mom will be by her side Joseph for the entire ride.
Along came McKienze, Glorias youngest baby girl, McKienze is our all. We know you were with her when she was very sick and you have been there every minute since.
McKenzie will be who ever and what ever she wants to be because she can, and we all know it. McKenzie is the light that shines for all of us.
Little wishes on great big stars. Granddaughter, I make a wish for you. Keep on growing and keep on smiling. And I'll keep loving all that you do.
Little dreamers wishing big things. The world is your stage to display. You can sing and you can dance. Enjoy all that comes your way.
Little hopes in a great big world. Nothing can stop your free spirit. Make some noise, play a beat. It's beautiful music when I hear it.
Little kisses from my now big girl, You're growing up so fast it seems. Pretty soon you'll leave the nest And fly after all of your dreams.
Little girl I love you, And I love you even more. Because I made a wish once, And you're what I wished for. Mommom loves you McKenzie.
Elizabeth, Roberts little girl is now almost 13 years old. It seems like she has grown up over night. Elizabeth is a loving, caring child, that never got to be a child. Please be with her every step of the way.
My granddaughter how you're growing and changing every day; Some day you'll be too busy to dance, and sing, and play. It seems like only yesterday I rocked you in my arms; and though a tiny baby I was captured by your charms. Then in the blinking of an eye a toddler walked to me, Those days too are gone now but oh, how can that be. Now when I look at you a little girl I see, with grown up dreams and wishes playing make-believe. Too soon you will be all grown up, but my pride will never end. For I'll always be your grandmother and I hope your dearest friend. Mommom loves you Elizabeth.
Zachary, Josephs son and your first great grandson, is also growing up but to us he is still just a little boy who loves baseball. He is a little spit fire and fun to be around. We like to drive him crazy. Before you know it he will be grown and having babies just like his dad.
It's Friday night, I've got a game We play the Indians, My best friend's team
My uniform's on It's only 4 o'clock Mom says we leave 5:30 on the dot
Tonight's our first game I'm fast in my new cleats My glove's broken-in cause I've slept on it for weeks
I'm still a little nervous but not about playing I'm wondering which girls are there and what I'm going to be saying......
By the time you read this you will be a big boy. I know you will be kind, funny, wise, sensitive, interesting, and a ball of fire! Your parents are all of these things. I know you will be strong and a wonderful hugger. Your father was and still is. I wish you happy, happy, days! You will have some bad days, yes. They are important so you can appreciate the good ones. There will be disappointments; I know you will be able to handle them. Mommom always says, "Life is 10% of what happens and 90% how you handle it. I pray you learn about humility. Please always let an outsider feel inside, and always, always be kind. I hope you learn that honesty is the best policy, And that doing a hard day's work will always make you feel better. Be a loyal friend, one people can count on and trust. I hope you put all of these wonderful things you possess To make yourself and the world around you a better place to live in. Please learn about the "God Stuff;" it really works, trust me. You have such a wonderful mother. She will be the one to teach you all the good things in life. Remember how to play, for you are in for a loving time.. I can't wait to see you. I love you already. Mommom Loves you Zach
Parker, our latest addition and Amandas first child is 10 months old and a blessing from god.
Sticky fingers ' tangled hair, scattered crayons, everywhere. Fancy artwork ' on the wall ' drawn by midgets ' three feet tall. Tell me why ' and tell me how ' that was mine ' I want it NOW! Fix my bike. Buy me gum. If you have it, I want some. Dirty faces, grass-stained knees, learning words ' like pretty please. Endless hugs & goofy wet kisses, learning respect with 'Mr.' & 'Mrs.' Scraped-up hands, from falling down. Tender tugs - - on my night gown. Need more paper ' for Santa's letter? I wasn't so bad ' but I've been better. Watching a movie ' again and again ' Mommy, please ' put the tape back in. Messy fingers ' hair gone wild ' all in the life ' of a precious child !!
Parker Mommom is with you every minute and I love you dearly, but I can not be here in person so Granny will do that for me, but Mommom loves your Parker.
I guess that I can hold you one more time before you grow and tell you that I love you so that you will always know. Please let me tie your shoe again. One day you'll tie your own. And when you think back to this time I hope it's love I've shown. Can I help you put your coat on? Can I please cut up your meat? Can I pull you in the wagon? Can I pick you out a treat? One day you might just care for me, so let me care for you. I want to be a part of every little thing you do. Tonight could I please wash your hair? Can I put toys in the bath? Can I help you count your small ten toes before I teach you math? Before you join a baseball team can I pitch you one more ball? And one more time can I stand near to make sure you don't fall? Let's take another space-ship ride Up to the Planet Zoor. Before our Cardboard Rocket doesn't fit us anymore. Please let me help you up the hill. while you're still too small to climb. And let me read you stories while you're young and have the time. I know the day will come when you will do these things alone. Will you recall the shoulder rides and all the balls we've thrown? I want you to grow stronger than your Dad could ever be. And when you find success there will be no soul more proud than me. So will you let me carry you? One day you'll walk alone. I cannot bear to miss one day from now until you've grown.
