My dearest Tiny Human – welcome – welcome to the world.
Sorry for the mess – we really are trying to clean it up and make it a better place.
Let’s just say – it’s a work in progress!!!
I’m a little late in this post but I did need to wait for permission from your mother and I’ve kinda been struggling as to what/how to convey what I want to say.
So – kiddo – what too you so long?? Personally – can’t blame ya – Mum made it pretty comfy in there I’m sure. Lounging around – kickin’ back and watching the Flix – just chillin’.
Now – with your permission – would like to lay out just a few ground rules – trust me – just as few. You see as the grandparent – I have the luxury of not having to discipline you for the most part. Of course if you step outta line you’ll hear about it but you see Grandparents are mostly for fun.
If we could however get one thing straight though??? I’d prefer to skip the Grandma moniker – choosing instead to referred to as GG.
GG for three reasons.
One is for my Mum – who would be your Great Grandmother – your Mum called her Gramma.
Then there is MY Grandmother – My Mums Mum who your Mum called Gramma Gramma – sooooo – GG to honour them. Seemed fitting for two classy dames.
Third reason – it’ll be easier for you to say.
That leads me to my next point – I cannot call you tiny human any more.
You do have a name.
Evie June Brady. I hear your name, I smile.
You really have filled our lives with so much joy – because you are an adorable little bundle of light.
When I had your Mum and your Uncle my life took on a whole new meaning and feeling of love and protectiveness and joy – it could not be explained.
When I saw you – those feelings rushed back and the best part – the absolute best part is that I get to spoil you and teach you things that I know and have learnt through my life that I could not teach your Mum because I was busy learning them from my Mum and Gramma.
It is actually the perfect circle.
I can’t wait to tell you secrets and share with you inside jokes and teach you all about chickens and buy you a pony and watch you discover all the wonders of this world and get you all dirty in the mud and teach you to drive a tractor and ride a horse and so much MORE! It will be epic.
Your life will be filled with loud people and laughter and sheer craziness that comes with being born into a large family.
In all my life – I did not think I would feel this kind of joy. To watch my child bring a human into this world is very humbling to me. I know for sure I have made a lot of stupid mistakes in my life but now I also know that somewhere – I did something right.
Dear Evie- we welcome you – with our arms and hearts open.
We vow to protect you from here forward.
