(11,304 posts)to the good lord to help keep me going so I can see my granddaughter grow up. I love her so. I love my son but he is grown his daughter is my world along with my husband. I thank god everyday for my husband who always tells me I'm beautiful even though I know am falling apart. I am obese, losing some teeth because of bone disease but he treats me like a queen. He make me feel like a queen. I tell my granddaughter she is beautiful and I also tell my daugther-in-law she is beautiful (she really is). It is up to us to give positive signs to our daughters and granddaughters. I am lucky to be 65 and have no wrinkles yet. But I do have grey beautiful short hair and I have had scares from surgery and medical issues. But am lucky god blesses me. I want to be able to see my granddaughter to reach 18 yrs old. I don't want her to forget me ever. I love her so. Blessings to everyone.
There is one more thing I tell my granddaughter: Dream big; Work hard; Believe in yourself and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do what you want. Start when your grandchild or your child is young. My granddaughter remembers when all I have to say is Dream .......and she fills in the blanks.
