Best Gift

Best Gift: Connection, Time, and Attention.  Grandchild-5, GranBob, GramaLin

When things seem as light as a feather,
It's probably not due to weather.
Attention and time,
A gift that's sublime,
Result when we spend time together.

What’s the “best gift” for you?

I name this week: “Total Riches Week.”

We had guests and visits.

Some had been"inked onto the calendar" with a pen,
Some popping up on short notice.
All treasured.

Amazing how sharing time with
Someone can boost morale.

Receiving the gift of
Time and attention
Is the best!

Several jigsaw puzzles,
Some meals out,
Time mostly spent with
"Usual" ... certainly low key.

It was last year during her visit
That Grandchild-1
Noted, "Usual can be special.”
I wrote that down and have it
In my Quote File.

Of course, I want
Longer, more, and frequent.

We did say to each other that
Saying good-bye and longing for more
Is the best way to part.

May some connection fill your heart.

Hugs,
Lin

P.S. You will see that pics show "Grans" with numbers.
Those indicate birth order.  
Were it ranking, all would be "Grandchild-1."
