My Juliet

My daughter in law and son have a new baby girl.  She is Juliet Louise and she's brought a breath of fresh air to my life.
Why did it take me 3 months to write this well it's been hard for me to work through all the emotions that came with her birth.  She has made me confront my emotions about the lose of my mom and it's been hard.

All babies relax me but this little being is so calming she can almost put you to sleep.  She is an angel in disguise.  She is the perfect baby because she has never had some of the ailments some babies get and she has a sweet disposition.

I was never blessed with a baby girl but now I feel like I have better.  A granddaughter is a promise for the future.  Brittany hopefully never have any of the lonliness I get when I don't have a female around me.  I love my boys but lets face it they don't think like me.  I'm lucky to have Rachel and Brittany because they are great daughter in laws.  Rachel always thinks of me and comes by even when she doesn't need to.  Brittany supplies me with endless glimpses of her little babies.

Juliet will bring added happiness to all those who cross her path.  She should have been named joy because that what she brings to my life.

I have no doubt she is going to give little JoJo a run for his money but in the end he will thank god for little girls.  His sister will be there to help him make sense of life.




 
THANK HEAVEN FOR LITTLE GIRLS
Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven
I can't resist a joyous urge
To smile and say
Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get
Bigger every day
Thank heaven for little girls
They grow up in 
The most delightful way.
Those little eyes 
So helpless and appealing
When they were flashing
Send you crashing
Through the ceiling
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
No matter where,
No matter who
Without them
What would little boys do
Thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls. 
 
Thanks Joe and Brittany for giving this family our future .... 
 I think we are all in for a ride...... 
 
A loving and grateful grandma!
