La Vida Loca De Flores

For all who may be reluctant (as I was) to make or share a blog, this is sure evidence of the definite value of it. My Mom sent me this email today after looking at our blog and asked me to post it. It really does mean so much to me to hear these words from her and I am ever more grateful for the work that we are doing to rebuild our relationship both for the two of us and for my kids:

My Dear Grandchildren (Sierra, Blaze, Jett and Kolt), I am so excited to come see you at Christmastime. I know we are going to have the best time ever. It's going to be fun creating new memories with you. Every picture I receive and every card, note and letter I read from you is so very precious to me. I will treasure them always. You all make me so very proud. I show all my friends and co-workers everything you send me. You are all so beautiful (Must be the genes!) or I might just be prejudiced. All things considered, you're just beautiful! You have the best parents any kids could ask for. I truly believe they are completely unselfish in wanting only what is best for you. They work so hard to give you what you want and need. I love and respect them both very much. I know you do, too. My relationship with your mother is also very important to me. She will always be my favorite (but I might have to say that about your Aunt Amy, Uncle Randall and Aunt Shelli if they ask). Your mom is a very wonderful woman. She is spiritual, loving, smart, kind and fun! There is no one who could love you more than her. When I hear about the fun things you get to do as a family and how much love your mother shows when telling me or writing me about your adventures, it makes me very happy and warm inside. The love and laughter you share with your family is so important. I know your parents are very proud of you and they love you very much. They want to see you happy. I want all of you to promise me that you will continue to be the great, active and happy kids that you are. I can't wait to see you all. We will make this a wonderful holiday! All my love and kisses, Grandma B
