I Have to Share

This is the best news I've had in ages, so I have to share with my good friends here.

My daughter told me last night that she is 14 1/2 weeks pregnant. She lost a baby in January of this year at about 12 weeks, so she wanted to get past that point before she told anyone.

I am SO excited, I can't tell you.

This is the best gift of recovery I could ever imagine. There was a time when my daughter wouldn't speak to me because she was so angry with my behaviour. And, this wonderful news means so much to me.

I am glowing with you at this great good news!!!!!
I picture you as radiant!

From my own experience, I can say that there are no words to explain or describe one of the world's greatest blessings, which I find in my grandchildren. The one is young and does not know me...but when I phone and 7 yr old Noah says, hi mema and talks to me.....there is a thrill undescribable.

I am so very, very happy for you!!!

love,
Tena
