THIS IS GOING TO BE JUST A RANDOM BLOG ABOUT THE GRANDGIRLS.
TRIGGER WARNING!
ITS FILLED WITH MUSHY STUFF!
MYSELF AND THOSE GIRLS... WELL WE JUST DON'T,
ALL FOUR OF US TOGETHER HANG OUT AS MUCH AS BEFORE.
MY ART BUSINESS AND THEIR BUSY SCHEDULES
ARE A MAIN REASON IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
ANOTHER REASON IS ON FRIDAYS, THEY TAKE TURNS
COMING TO THE COTTAGE TO GET SOME ONE ON ONE TIME WITH MUMSIE.
THE FRIDAYS ARE THEIRS FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.
SO IT WAS A RARE OCCASION, WHEN TUESDAY, I HAD THEM
OVER FOR THE NIGHT TO HELP ME DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS ON WEDNESDAY.
WE PLAYED IN THEIR ROOM, JEMMA AND I, BARBIES,
JILLIAN AND JOLEE WITH MY PHONE MAKING VIDEOS.
WE DISCUSSED GETTING RID OF THE TRIPLE BUNK BEDS
AS THEY WON'T SLEEP IN THEM AND ALL THREE WERE NOT FOR IT.
THE NEXT DAY THEY WERE ALL ABOUT THOSE BUNKS
EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL SLEPT WITH ME IN MY BED.
THEY KNEW THE BUNKS WERE ON THE LINE AND THEY HAD TO
MAKE THEM IMPORTANT AGAIN.
THEY DECORATED THEM FOR CHRISTMAS,
JILLY HAD ME TACK UP A SHEET SO SHE COULD HAVE A TENT
ON THE HIGHEST BUNK. THEY PLAYED IN THE ATTIC WITH ME,
THROWING DOWN ALL THE CHRISTMAS THINGS
THEN GOING THROUGH ALL THE BOXES TO SEE
CHRISTMAS PAST WITH ALL THEIR DADS OLD
DECORATIONS. THERE WAS BICKERING AND LONG EXPLAINED
CORRECTIONS FROM MUMSIE.
YET THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE TOGETHERNESS,
SISTERLY BONDS AND PLAYING TOGETHER.
AT EACH OPPORTUNITY, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THEY KNEW JUST HOW LUCKY THEY ARE TO HAVE EACH OTHER.
WHEN THEY BICKERED I REMINDED THEM ABOUT MY LOOSING
MY SISTER NOT VERY LONG AGO.
THE LASTING IMPRESSION I WANT TO LEAVE HERE,
NEVER TO FORGET, IS NOT ONLY THE PILLOW FIGHT,
CALLED FOOSH HERE, THAT IS TRADITION FOR A SLEEPOVER.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS WHEN WE ALL LAYED DOWN,
4 IN A KING SIZE BED AND I, LIKE ALWAYS BEGAN TO SING
PRAYERS AND SONGS THAT WE SING EACH TIME THEY SLEEP OVER.
THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT.
INSTEAD OF JUST MY VOICE RINGING IN THEIR EARS,
THREE OTHER LITTLE VOICES CHIMED IN.
EACH OF THEM NOT MISSING ONE WORD TO THE
PRAYERS AND SONGS I HAVE SUNG TO THEM SINCE THEY
WERE BABIES.
AND THIS MY DEAR FOLLOWERS, IS THE MAIN REASON
FOR THIS BLOG. THAT A TRADITION I STARTED WHEN
THEY WERE BABIES HAS BECOME SUCH A ROUTINE PART
OF THEIR SLEEPOVERS THAT THEY KNOW EVERY WORD THAT
HAS EVER BADLY BEEN SUNG TO THEM BY THEIR MUMSIE
IS EMBEDDED IN THEIR CHILDHOOD MEMORY.
AND THAT IS THE GIFT OF BEING A GRANDPARENT.
BUT OUR JEMMA, NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. CAME TO CHECK ON
HER AS SHE WAS QUIET AND DECORATING A TREE WITH
A WEDDING VEIL SHE FOUND IN THE ATTIC.
NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH THIS DIVA.
