Journaling: To say that my mom was homesick when we were stationed in Germany with the Army would be quite an understatement. So, when she brought me stateside to visit my grandparents, it was newsworthy indeed. Well, that may be a stretch, but because our hometown was smaller and was home to Ft. Benning, we did make the newspaper.


My mother is beautiful and I love looking at this photo, imagining her emotions as she interacted with her first born toddler. Me. She remains lovely to this day, both inside and out and has witnessed this little girl grow and be blessed with four children of her own.


And interestingly, each of her four grandchildren have tinkered away at that same piano. Loudly! What a treasure to have a legacy of parents and grandparents.


We are all blessed indeed. Even if no one else made the paper.
