LC, Yout grandmother sounded like an amazing person. How wonderful it must feel to know that both you and your sister were so loved when you were born. I,m sure you are trying to find out as much as you can about her. I think that would help....talk to everyone who knew her, find as many pictures, evan make a scrap book, it might help. Donna

Lemon....I bet your grandma was amazing! She sure sounds like it! (((warm hugs)))
I feel a really big connection to my birth grandma......although, ironically, she wasn't my mom's mom....Mary Ellen's mom died when she was five, and she was raised by her stepmom, but everyone in the family considers her their mom. Her headstone even says "MOM" on her side, which I thought was a wonderful tribute to someone who did everything she could to give "her girls" a wonderful life.
The first time I visited her grave site, I felt a very close feeling of peace, and she has been with me, in some respects, ever since. My cousin later told me that she worried herself silly over me, and would have been so pleased to know that Shannon and I actually went to high school together, and that we have reconnected! She said that had she known I was so close, she would surely have come to me.......having "one of hers" away from the family was very hard for her!
I have a feeling that the peace that came to me that day, was her peace in knowing I was "found".
Hugs,
Sally

Hi LC

You just need to listen to what you wrote and you will see that you and your sister brought her Joy.

She saw your feet kicking in the hospital and knew you'd bring Joy!!

Anyone who has watched a newborns "taste of freedom" has seen great joy - just seeing those little hands and feet going everywhere :O)

So do not sell yourself short - You did bring her great joy, and i'm sure she still looks down on you and sees joy and pride !d
