A little stone heart for each year 

that's passed since you have been gone...

I found the little red heart for this seventh year,

it holds many hearts and I like that.

I searched my own heart today trying to come up

 with insightful thoughts on how I feel...

Actually, I doubt anyone is very interested...

My thoughts are my own...

I will say that I think of you every day.

Actually, throughout each and every day!

Do you consume my every thought? 

Absolutely not... 

My days are filled with little grand darlings!

James and Layla are my little breakfast buddies 

each and every weekday...

we count penguins

and sort sea creatures

we set up dinosaurs

the meat eaters

the plant eaters
the "di-phibians"

we make volcanoes that erupt

play in sand from Bonita Beach

dig for shells and dino bones

an added bowl of water makes it even better

we bring in piles of snow at Nana's

and build igloos and icebergs for the polar bears

we play with farm animals

jungle animals

fairies and Minnie

baby dolls that go potty

and litters of play kittens 

we have picnics and cook

in the play kitchen
we sing abc's and 123's

we read countless books

and solve mazes

we drive our "Subaru" dogs in little suv's

they camp, ski, shop, park,

   and go to the beach!

they throw snowballs and spin donuts!

and do Chinese fire drills... 

and this is before lunch!

we dance like we can!

we recite every song and rhyme

we talk about eagles

woodpeckers

we feed the birds on the deck

we tickle tackle

kiss attack

hide and seek 

ride the horsie ...go to town

we google and you tube

and put Nana's phone on airplane mode

we play with doll houses and families.

we talk about loving and being loved

we talk about sharing and caring

we talk about helping 

we talk about how incredibly loved they are

by absolutely everyone!!!

then it's nap time...

How cool is this?

Then on Wednesdays

 I get to spend my day my Anna Rose
my very own Anna Principessa

and my darling Twinnies...

Malley and Emmy!

Here, my schedule is as incredibly busy

 and just as much fun!

Do I wish I had more time with my Teah G?

For sure...but she is a busy little teen.

I understand!

So Jim...

I have to be honest...

(and of course you already know this)

I love you with all my heart!

Always have and always will...

You have two wonderful brothers and

I love spending time with them and their families!

These little ones take up my days and I am blessed!

I miss you sweetheart!

Every day and every night!

I miss you more and more as

the years pass...

But my time is well spent and at the end of each day,

I find my self thinking of you till I nod off...

a very tired Nana!

I'll see you in my dreams sweet son!

I love you...
