“There is one spectacle grander than the sea,
That is the sky;
There is one spectacle grander than the sky,
That is the interior of the soul.”
~ Victor Hugo
“It’s such a “grand”thing
to be the mother of a mother
(or father)– that’s why the
world calls her “grand”mother.”
~ Unknown 🤭
A Little Sun
verily and
forsooth,
I couldn’t
have foreseen this
truth
in all my
life, a little sun
was missing—
a sliver of heaven
to sustain my giving
by far
the most
fulfilling event
is that of being
a grandparent

Thanks for reading, my lovely friends. While the new mom and baby are bonding in the hospital I’ll try to post once daily. Until Friday when mother and child return to the nest and … I’ll try to be useful for as long as I’m able. Thanks for the support. 🤗
