I heard in the car, this morning….
When I managed to turn around to see my child, it made
me go back to the past, with just one sentence…
She was no longer within my reach.
I travelled far….
When did time go by and make us adults full of boring priorities??
We fight every day, for something we’re not even sure we really want…
When in fact grandma’s house, is what everyone needs to be happy.
Grandma’s house, is where the hands of the clock take a vacation with us and the minutes unhurriedly, go by.
Grandma’s house is where a simple pasta and homemade bread seem to have different flavors, delicious...
Grandma’s house is where an innocent afternoon, can last for an eternity of games and fantasies.
Grandma’s house is where the cupboards hide old clothes and mysterious tools.
Grandma’s house is where the closed boxes become chests of secret treasures, ready to be unveiled.
Grandma’s house is where toys rarely come ready, they are invented on the spot.
Grandma’s house, is where everything is mysteriously possible, magic happens without worries..
Grandma’s house is where we find the REMAINS OF OUR PARENTS’ CHILDHOOD AND THE BEGINNING OF OUR LIVES.
Grandma’s house on the inside, is the address of our deepest affection, where EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED.
That luxury no longer belongs to me – unfortunately – it will live with me only in memories.
Even so, if I could place an order now…any order of all orders in the world, I would order the same thing…
“CAN I SLEEP AT GRANDMA’S TONIGHT ???”
This was the 1st picture of all the grandkids and the featured picture was the last one. Although a couple more cousins still were not in that one. Irish/Italian Catholic Family …. Love to all the cousin’s. I was the one next to my sister in the green dress. My other two sister’s were in back of us. Grandmama would be proud 😉 ….
It worries me that I think there is going to be an entire generation that will not have a relationship w/their Grandmama…Those children will be the loser’s of that. My grandmama made a huge impact in my life. She didn’t live close to us but I spent the summer’s with her and my cousins. Those memories I will cherish in my heart forever.
I am so thankful for my Grandmama Fannie…I look forward to seeing her again someday. I was blessed with her in my life and all the time spent up on that magical farm in Wisconsin …
That is a lot of cousins.
I was very fond of both my grandmothers and enjoyed staying with them.
