Saturday was the last soccer game of the season. The lack of interest from parents and the coach was obvious to us, fortunately - the kids didn't seem to notice. My grandkids are the luckiest kids in the world. They have 2 sets of grandparents that adore them. Somebody always shows up for the kids - the poppas have their work schedules and we all work around them but these kids know the best of both worlds. The love they are showered with is obvious to even strangers. It is like they have their own little fan clubs.
Both poppas are called"poppa". Both poppas are Steves. If they want my poppa, they call him, Nana's Poppa - the other poppa is Sue's poppa. You can believe how well this system works. We are together every holiday, birthday and it is a wonderful thing. I can only imagine having this kind of love and support.
Poppa and Grandma Sue take them tailgating and to football games - Poppa and Nana take them to the Pumpkin Festival. Grandma Sue takes them to the movies and Nana takes them for ice cream and cokes. Sue's poppa throws a ball with them and Nana's poppa teaches them how to draw Goofy. Grandma teaches them the names of the presidents and Nana downloads music for them. Between the two families, they know about Elvis, Mighty Mouse and The Three Stooges. They are lavished with love, graced with gifts and most importantly, they know, really know they are loved completely. They have the security of a love that they never question and know, is always available.
Keaton, Gage and Morgan - we love you infinity... May you know that the love you feel from us someday, lead you to the overwhelming Love that God has for each of you. No greater gift could we give and for you guys, its always about giving you our very best...
