A Dedication to My Mother
copyright 2009 Karen Brown
Mother...
a divine woman of character, you are
and simply by your compassion
I am captivated.
Your positive influence in my life
has given me hope in hard times,
and encouragement, when I didn't believe.
Your actions show the depth of your words
and you've made miracles happen
deep within my heart.
Each day, your radiance highlights
the spirit of a true mother
doing what's in her nature...
to nurture...
my mental, and spiritual growth.
You sacrificed your needs to fulfill mine,
made me strong through your strength,
self-sufficient through your independence,
loving through your nurturing,
and grateful through your prayers...
Through your life experiences, I am refined,
and I embrace your openness
to inspire me through your eyes.
Extraordinary, you are!
and I am blessed to be the receiver
of such an exceptional mother,
and I love you for it all.

I'm on Granny Duty
I am a Granny! I admit it! Oh, lawdy! Did I really say that? yes, it's true.
When I had my children I never really thought about the fact that eventually when they grew up they would have children...
which makes me, you know....GRANDMA:)
My beautiful grandson is now 1 years old, and I am 1 year older then I was before.
During the first year I have relearned how to change a diaper,"gugu-gaga", make a bottle, find a pacificer, coach a burp out, sing nursery songs, grab the diaper bag without forgetting to grab my own purse, whew! the list goes on.
Being on Granny duty requires strategic planning, nerves of steel, multi-tasking, bonic ears, and eyes, and legs, and giving a lot of love.
I love my lil' Doda, but being on Granny duty is not an easy task but it has it's rewards because I'm able to watch him grow,teach him things, and he brightens my day with his smile, and his dancing as he loves music! I even named the lil dance he does-"Do the Doda". I'm going to get it on vid and post it soon.
~Yes, I'm on Granny Duty! Are you?~

A Round of Applauses goes out to all the Grandmothers on Granny Duty!
We are the best!
