About Being a Grandmother

By Anita Farson

I truly believe that no grandmother could love

her grandchildren more than I’ve loved mine.

When our first grandchild was born, my heart

was flooded with a kind of love that I had never

experienced before even with my own children.

My son will tell you how “absorbed” I was with

my first grandchild Jolene (see back cover),

maybe almost to the point of being “obsessed”

with her comfort and pleasure when she spent

time in our home (which created some problems

when she returned to her own home and her

parents didn’t have the time to give her that

same undivided attention). I made a concentrated

and deliberate effort to make sure that “staying

at Grandma’s house” was an e n joyable and

pleasant experience for my grandchildren.
