Last night I decided on a plan. I am going to buy a couple of boxes and start putting things in it for my future grandchildren who I might never get to meet. I am going to fill the boxes with items which will give the grandkids an idea of who I am, my likes, dislikes e.t.c. I will put in a couple of my favourite DVDs, CD's. books which have inspired me, books which I love. I will also make a scrapbook with pictures of my favourite TV programnes, favourite colours, my thoughts etc.
I want it to be a treasure trove of memories. I don't fear much but one of those fears is that I will have beautiful Grandchildren and they will never know their Nanny Bayliss. Not just photos of what I look like but of the person inside as well. Chris my hubbie has suggested that we also make a video diary of me as well.
I get moments when I feel sad that I might never get to hold a gorgeous baby and touch their little fingers and toes and feel the pride of a Grandmother. Never get to spoil them. So this will be my way of spoiling them even if I can't be with them physically. I thought I'd fill it with all the things I would give them if I was here.
All too often we go through life taking things for granted. I am still praying that I will live to see both my beautiful kids settle down one day. Pray that I will get to cuddle my gorgeous Grandchildren (Oh yes I know already they will be beautiful) Most of all pray that I will grow old with my wonderful Husband Chris. We have already been married 26 years so I'm praying we will get to celebrate our 50th. All things are possible with God and I truely believe this so am hanging onto that.
