When I'm a Grandma there'll be special times when I'll sit with the children under the moon light and I'll tell them stories. Tales of pirates and princesses. They'll know that Daddy was a hero and we never quite figured out how he came to be so clever but we think it's because of his old soul that's been around learning stuff before he was even born.
And Mummy was an exotic soldier who's ancestors once ruled the world. They'll be proud to know of her secret shiny sword with the power to slay the meanest dragon of all.
I'll tell them about the magic fairy that lives in their Aunty's ear and shows her how to look deep into the hearts of people and understand the stuff she sees there.
I'll tell them our stories of love and broken hearts, of power and success, of our journeys and celebrations.
When we go inside to make cupcakes and blow bubbles we'll all feel deep in our hearts that we are part of something big and sound and special.

I'm looking after my grand children this weekend. I feel like I can enjoy them after reading this. GM
That is a beautiful image, just lovely!
Thank you very much Colour Me Happy. I created this painting a couple of years ago, it is my son and daughter-in-law. It depicts different heritages and a bright shiny future. They are so young but already have fought and won a few battles. So they deserve it!
Annie, my mother is desperate to be a grandmother, as she is watching many of her friends and cousins experience this. This post helps me understand some of the reasons why:) I am almost ready....almost.
also- this painting is so captivating and magical!!!
