It's a wonderful world.........

With this song in my heart I watched Lilleman being born. The pride of that moment has only been superceeded by the pride of the moment when his mother was born. Usually I am not short of words to describe my feelings, but in this case I have only one thing to say;
I love you with all my heart and soul. I give you my promise of always love you and I will follow you into adulthood with the same pride as I am watching you today.
You have come to a world that is suffering fram war and where dark clouds way back on the horizon is making people fear what the future will bring. Henry my grandson, we all have faith in you and your future fellow men that will put it all together again so that man doesn't have to fear the future again.
I pray that you parents will use all their imagination and trust their feelings in raising you to be and to do what you came here for.
But until then you will be my Lilleman.

Spring has sprung even in The Colony, TX

The birds and the buds has been energized by the wonderful force of nature. Again we can rejoice and feel rejuvenated from the inspiring and uplifting signs of SPRING. My old Bradford Pear tree has put on his showcase of white beautiful flowers and the small critters are already circling around them. 2 days ago we got a late visit from Grandpa' winter. Snow fell in big soft flakes until they covered all of my backyard. They say that snow is poor mans fertilizer so I guess my garden will have received the sufficient nutrient that is needed and I can just sit back and enjoy. Spring is also about waiting for something, I am waiting for the last 3 weeks of The Little One's getting-ready to be born. I find myself preparing mentally to be the Swedish grandmother that he deserves to have. His mother, Elizabeth told me today that she had done a Spring cleaning, I bet she is the only one that performs that task in her 9th month of pregnancy. The reason she said was that she wanted her home as well as everything else be prepared for him when she can bring him home. Pippi, Pierre, Pia and Pelle are also enjoying the spring, they are livelier that usual and seems to get a great pleasure of chasing the early flies that have woken up, groggy and not quite clear of what this is all about. The new beginning of life's circle can be sensed everywhere even in my flowerbeds. The small earthworms seems to be wigglier than normal and the dirt smells good to my gardening nose.
