Time is so short, as we watch our little ones grow. One day they are babies, next it seems they are leaving for college. Last summer Gary and I had a backyard BBQ for our family. Our kids, their kids and yes, even their kids kids (that means our great grands!). What a day that was....
As I sat watching the merriment, Ava, our 2 year old great granddaughter climbed up in my lap with a book that needed to be read!!
Ava's mom, Sarah, snapped this picture of us as she gazed lovingly up at me. It is priceless, and had I not taken the time to read, Sarah would have missed this kodak moment for us.
Take the time, take a walk, take a few minutes to share a special book while they are willing to give us a minute. Soon they will be so busy, it will be hard to slow them down long enough to spend time together. Treasure each moment and someday, in that long away future, they just might remember how Grandma held them and read a book to them.
