It’s true I have been a way for awhile. ;o) That’s because I was blessed with a visit from my first born son Bryan and his wonderful family.
The last few days have given me new insights to the multi-dimensional connection of families. In several places across the Internet you will have seen me requesting prayers for Baby Chace during the last year.
As a first time Grandmother I was unable to be with my grandson during his times of medical trials. *sigh* Eleven hundred earthly miles separate us.
Each time Chace had to face getting new casts on his little legs I prayed and sent him intense Reiki. Several friends joined in. Then came the necessary surgery because casts and braces failed to straighten his growing feet and legs. I admit I cried when I heard he had steel rods inserted through both of his feet.
More intense Reiki and prayers. So much support from giving Friends.
But… Someone told me that when he finally arrived in Florida Baby Chace wouldn’t know me or may even possibly scream every time he was around me. She was being kind—her words of warning were meant to prepare me.
They arrived on an afternoon Florida sunbeam.
When I opened the door to Bryan’s tall stature standing protectively over his family my heart felt the warmth of mother’s love. Then my gaze dropped to Amanda and Chace.
She was a bit nervous and looked a little tired. (1100 miles can do that) “Do you want to hold your grandson?”
I trembled and looked into his beautiful eyes. Recognition sparked within those dark depths. Chace made a happy sound, smiled behind his binky and nearly jumped into my arms.
Grandma’s first hug.
He’s such a strong little guy. The experiences of his first year of life will only make him more so. His feet braces are blue and pretty much go unnoticed by most people.
His helmet (head is slightly misshaped in the back but will improve) garners attention from many folks that see him. Most show friendship to Chace, others may avoid him because they don’t understand.
Through it all he has the true spirit of an earth angel. ;o)
So today I wish to Thank our wonderful Creator God for sending Chace as a blessing to all who surround him. His loving nature and gentleness is a wondrous wrapper for his strong spirit.
Have a Blessed and Safe journey home my dear family. Mom/Grandma Loves you. ;o)
