You Raised Good Parents

I talked on the phone with my oldest granddaughter, Kennedie a little while ago. Today is her sixth birthday and she is on vacation in Arkansas with her parents. She told me all about her mom getting stung by a red wasp and how she nearly got stung and how her daddy took his hat off and chased the red wasp away...She told me about riding the bumper cars and the water slides and the water cars...Then she told me that her little sister, Kylee was stuffing a chocolate animal cracker in her mouth and how she likes the chocolate ones but she doesn't like the white ones...I listened for a good five minutes, barely able to get a word in. Listening to her happy and excited little voice made my heart swell with pride. Before we hung up, I told her that I love her with all of my heart and I sure wish that I could have seen her on her birthday...
Ten days ago was my middle granddaughter, Kamberlyn's third birthday. We had her party over at her Paw Paw's house and she had a blast playing in her new swimming pool. So much so that she didn't really want to get out of the pool to have cake and ice cream. I also talked to her over the phone earlier today. She told me that she had been to a water park and that she had hurt her finger...I wished that I could crawl thru the phone and kiss her finger.
I feel very blessed to have three beautiful, intelligent and healthy granddaughters. They are more than I could ever have expected or asked for.
I also feel very blessed to have children that are such good parents. So far, two of my children have children of their own and I couldn't be more proud of either of them. Not to mention my daughter-in-law Kim. Kim is a blessing to her children and my son, as well as to me.
I have no doubt that Jeremy and Amber will be awesome parents when their time comes. And Brendan is still way too young to even think about it but, he is a loving and sweet uncle. When his time comes I know he will be all that he can be.
People sometimes brag about how much money their children are making or about their high educations and they love it when anyone else mentions anything about it. This in itself is a great thing but, I think that one of the nicest things a person could say about me is "You raised good parents."
