My granddaughter and I

Holding my granddaughter for the first time when she was only minutes old and yes I look bad because I was crying.

When I held her that day so many emotions all at once flooded my heart. The day that I had my daughter and our lives together and now the future in my granddaughter face. I immediately felt a since of protection, love, and pride just as I did when I birthed and held each of my 4 babies.
