SHE IS ALL HEART
This little girl and I have a lot in common as we share the same sense of humor, gestures, and love for decorating. However, she is different than me as she is all heart! When it comes to people and relationships she is constantly reminding me that there is more to life and I need to be paying more attention to details. She teaches me that others are more important! Alivia loves people and can ask a million questions, things I would have never thought of all in a space of 5 minutes just to turn around and ask another round of questions pertaining to how someone feels.
Yesterday, my grandmother passed away. It was expected and so the death did not leave a sting, but a day of reflection. However when my granddaughter came over for lunch and Family Home Evening immediately she needed to talk about my grandmother. She needed to see pictures of her, her life, and her children. She likes to know how everyone is connected. She also became so excited to see how her great gg-grandmother had the same color dress on as her in the photo album. The most tender part of the day was when Livy came quietly over later and whispered… “Gabby, are you sad?” making sure that I was doing okay.
Sometimes the roots in a family are not driven deeper down because of pedigree chart connections or through family events and reunions…connections come when one heart connects to another through a simple sharing of feelings.
