Family

Grandmother admires her sweet granddaughter. Great-grandmother plays with a newborn great-granddaugh

After my daughter got married, I often found my mind drifting to thoughts of one day being a grandma. My baby, having a baby! It would give me the most coveted title – a grandma! This thought sounded like music to my ears.

I knew I would feel blessed and honoured to accept this title because I also knew that being a grandmother is a luxury not everyone can have.

To my utmost delight, as time went by, I became a grandma of five beautiful grandchildren! Not only my daughter but with time, my son also got married, and both were blessed with lovely children.

I am now fortunate to enjoy my grandchildren. I am so grateful for the fountain of youth that now comes in my life from my grandchildren.

Seeing these grandkids and falling in love with them, is an amazing experience. I want to protect them, to love them, hug and kiss them. Their hugs and smiles melt my heart every time. The way they light up when they see me, is truly the best medicine.

I have truly won a lottery. My grandchildren are the best gift ever! I am so blessed and grateful for this time in my life.
