Meemaw Love

It’s been a wild ride, folks! A ridiculously exciting rollercoaster since I last spilled my thoughts.

You see, my baby has become a mama herself! Yep, my baby had her very own baby I thought I was ready, but becoming Meemaw has been a game-changer. This little munchkin has left me speechless.

She’s stolen my heart and owns my soul.

She looks at me with so much love, I forget the worries of the world.

She tries to chew my face off, which I’m pretty sure is baby talk for ‘I love you.’

She snuggles into me like I’m her happy place.

When I get to see her first thing in the morning and say ‘Good morning, Meemaw’s Love Bug,’ her eyes light up, and her smile melts my heart.

She has the biggest personality shining through and it sends me into fits of laughter.

She gives me hope.

She restores my faith.

She’s healing my spirit.

And most of all, she’s given me a chance to relive the days when her mom was a baby.

But this time, I’m less stressed.

I’m not worried about what is or isn’t done and who does or doesn’t like it.

I’ll take all the Nellie cuddles, diaper changes, and playtime I can get.

Because, let’s be real, “cleaning and scrubbing can wait ’til tomorrow, for babies grow up, we’ve learned to our sorry. So quiet down, cobwebs and dust, go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep.”

Love & Light, Lori
