Today is my granddaughter, Savannah Rose’s 8th Birthday! It seems like just yesterday that I stepped into my daughter’s hospital room and saw this tiny, perfect baby girl lying in her cot.
I remember staring and then asking if I could pick her up? Mandy laughed and said, “Of course”!
I picked her up and held her close and stared into her beautiful face. I felt nothing but pure sweet love wash over me!
I remember feeling immediately, that she’d always been with me. As if my soul knew hers.
As the years have gone by, we have shared so much. Stories at bedtime, sleepovers, making tea and cookies together, and all the secret dreams she has shared with me.
The best thing is that now, at 8 years old, Savannah can tell me exactly what she is thinking and feeling and we share even more in life.
Every time I enjoy something with Savi, it’s like I have enjoyed it for the very first time.
You are my sunshine and my smiles and you have made me the happiest Oma in the entire world!
Happy Birthday to my darling Savannah Rose!
I love you to the Moon and back!
Happy birthday
Many happy birthdays
I understand your pride. I now have six grandchildren… all boys. They have been such a pleasure to us.
Lovely. Just wait until she is twelve and you can have almost adult conversations with her.
