An Ode to Grandparents

"We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves" Henry Ward Beecher. We also never knew the true love of a grandparent until Ella and Allyn were born. Beautiful and perfect in every way in the eyes of her Lolo, Lola and Mimi. Gentle hands wash her face, bathe her, hold her and provide comfort. Patient ears listen to the lamenting and intricacies of her new parents instructions. Houses are readily surrendered to their granddaughter's whims. We don't say it often enough...thank you to the three of you for all that you are to us and our daughter.
