Grandma Jeanne's Visit

 

 

 

 

 

When your father texted, "Lucy is here", grandma Jeanne couldn't get to Dallas soon enough.  The two hour delayed flight seemed like eternity, and even though I was exhausted when we got to your home in the wee hours of the morning, it was difficult for me to fall asleep, anticipating seeing you.


And then there you were; you were everything I thought you would be and more.  From your perfect tiny fingers and toes to your full head of hair, your soft cheeks, and your baby new smell, and your cry, the sound of music to grandma.


I will take these first few days spent holding you, kissing your head, just looking at you while you sleep, while you cry, when others are holding you, and keep them safe within my heart, until I see you again.


I love you Lucy Pearl.
