2008. What a year. It was the year I became a grandma.

You, little one came after 16 hours of labor. Your momma swearing she couldn’t do it anymore after only 5 hours. But your daddy and I sat right beside your momma gently rubbing her back and loving her through every minute. Most times I was quite giving prompts to your daddy so he could support and love you both through the experience.

The Moment you were born tears sprang from all our eyes. You were here and safe, most of all loved.

You were the happiest baby. Smiling at so young an age. You brought joy and completeness to each of us. You were the exact thing we needed.

Even though your momma was exhausted she took a moment each day to whisper “I love you.”

And as you grew your little personality became a HUGE personality. You would walk into the house grab Papa and say “I wanna watch the PAN.” He happily would set up Tangled and 2 chairs. You would sit for the whole movie and talk to Papa about what was going on. He would smile and say “you have it memorized why are we watching it again.” Your eyes would turn to him like…. Really dude? And just stare.

You became a big sister and filled the roll with pride. You protected her while beating her up when the times called for it. Yet no one else could pick on her without you coming after them.

You, my first born grandchild, will always have a special place in my heart. Today you would have been 15 years old. I miss you every single day. I haven’t watched the PAN movie since you left this earth. I probably never will.

Happy Birthday in heaven. Sad but happy both your momma and your daddy are with you. May it be filled with joy and laughter.
