To reiterate what everyone has said above, your photo is so simple but so touching. Neither my grandparents nor, more importantly, my father met his grandchildren. Sometimes I kick myself for not having children earlier (I had my twins at 39) but nature put a few obstacles in my way. Better late than never - I feel very lucky to have them at all. Look forward to nosing around your old posts xzookeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273861661493362850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-40381588576763154712011-01-12T21:29:09.733+00:002011-01-12T21:29:09.733+00:00A truly special moment captured to be enjoyed and ...A truly special moment captured to be enjoyed and remembered forever.<br /><br />Lovely post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-87812307029469403332011-01-12T21:17:12.962+00:002011-01-12T21:17:12.962+00:00Congratulations on your award!Congratulations on your award!Kelly Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-56403752685667361612011-01-12T21:16:56.958+00:002011-01-12T21:16:56.958+00:00I so love the juxtaposition of the old and the new...I so love the juxtaposition of the old and the new.Kelly Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-42630613919363129542011-01-12T17:22:03.462+00:002011-01-12T17:22:03.462+00:00Lovely, lovely picture and what a mighty fine blog...Lovely, lovely picture and what a mighty fine blog you have here.Hot Cross Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052268534992433595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-15429740699673982492011-01-12T14:40:59.633+00:002011-01-12T14:40:59.633+00:00I love old hands too, in fact I chose them for my ...I love old hands too, in fact I chose them for my entry today, just a little younger :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787939921210451385.post-55752660177464057412011-01-12T13:59:21.429+00:002011-01-12T13:59:21.429+00:00I saw this first thing, and was so moved by it, I&...I saw this first thing, and was so moved by it, I've had to come back and tell you so.

I saw a similar picture at imperfect pages a few weeks ago of her Grandad and baby, it had a similar effect on me. <br />I feel for you being too pregnant to fly. I went to my Grandma's funeral two days before my second was born. I have heard so many stories of people losing grandparents while pregnant, the whole circle of life thing is so powerful.

I was too pregnant to fly to her funeral. I have her hands and I wear her engagement ring on the ring finger of my right hand. She would've held my children just like yours did here and your post has made me smile thinking of her doing that. Thank you so much.
