I LOVE being grandma!!!

I LOVE being grandma to my three grandsons - they make my heart so happy! Today I'm remembering nine years ago when the boys were having a sleep-over; at bedtime they were having trouble settling  down and going to sleep; imagine that! An almost three year old and a soon-to- be-six year old having trouble settling down at bedtime!

At any rate, we were trying to get them to go to sleep, when our oldest grandson looked at me with the sweetest face and said, "Grandma, will you sing, 'You are My Sunshine'?" Of course I was happy to do so, so I began . . . 

You are my sunshine (at this point, I was given the most wonderful treat! Both boys joined in and sang with me - at the top of their lungs!!!)

My little sunshine (the boys both thought we should substitute the word, "big" for "little" since they are not "little"!!!)

You make me happy, all the day!

I love you forever and for always

You are my sunshine today! 

We sang this song together about a dozen times! It was so wonderful!!! When the boys were babies, I always sang this song to them at bedtime so they would go to sleep; apparently they remember!!!

Then my middle grandson looked at me with an oh-so-sweet smile and said, "Grandma, pray for me!" If my heart had not already been happy, it absolutely was at that moment!!! Of course I prayed for them!!! He joined in with praying, "Thank You God for loving us. We love You! Thank You for loving us!!!"

Did I mention how happy my heart was???!!!! It is still overflowing with joy today!!!

I LOVE being grandma to these sweet boys!
