Today is my Mom and Dad's fifty-sixth wedding anniversary. It's been a hard and beautiful day, thinking about that. They had a marriage that we should all be striving for.
My Dad never missed an anniversary, a birthday, a mother's day - without bringing my Mom flowers. Or just a single flower. It was his signature. He loves her so very much. Sometimes I wonder if that makes losing someone harder or easier, to love so much. Even if it is harder, I think I would rather love that much.
My mom was an awesome grandma. She taught me what it meant to be a grandma. Albert's mom, their Nan, is an awesome grandma. I have had good mentors.
And now I get to be one. Mary and Francis are expecting a baby in the middle of May.
And we will be grandparents.
More than my poor heart can hold.

Although this is the size of our new grandbaby, ours is much cuter.
