This morning I thought about you and the nearest thing to saying hello was reading your blogs. This posting touched my heart. Grandma, one of the most beautiful words in the English language. A title that I won't enjoy because I don't have any children, but it is a title that I treasure deeply. I love this article.<br />Thank you.<br />Ciao,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937578189437367147.post-50213017031172549012012-07-31T20:42:55.637-07:002012-07-31T20:42:55.637-07:00Dearest Micki, My Grandson, Charlie, calls me Nann...Dearest Micki, My Grandson, Charlie, calls me Nanna, which is what all my kids called my mother. To hear that little voice say Hi Nanna, means all the world to me. And I know you feel that way too about Ben and all your other grandchildren. Your love and warmth shows through everything you write, Micki. <br />Hugs from, Mary Firmin, Deadly PleasuresMary Firminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502818230240987384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937578189437367147.post-48685990437915806592012-07-28T18:27:20.793-07:002012-07-28T18:27:20.793-07:00Thanks, Rosemary

You once again made me smile from ear to ear, and I love the way you ended it, with his crooked smile. Beautiful! And which grandson is this? Keep writing, Micki, it is happiness personified!
