Love unconditionally - wrap those who hold your heart in so much love that they might squirm and laugh in slight protest. It...love...is the lasting beauty of this world. It will inspire beautiful memories that we cherish forever.<br /><br />Grandmother wisdom is always so strong, don't you think? I know my own Granny had equal wisdom and I find myself quoting her often to friends. That wisdom lives on long after those loved ones have left us. The love remains.<br /><br />Blessings, sweetheart. <3<br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-91337278626988190742012-07-05T11:18:15.607-07:002012-07-05T11:18:15.607-07:00Thanks so much for visiting today, Rachel!

I can see why Nana would have thought it was too simple of an answer before having kids of her own. Then you realize that your kids are going to be their own people and that they are going to make mistakes because you can't shelter them from everything. If you have loved them and taught them right from wrong then you have given them the foundation they need to become good people.Sarah Kennedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-2467605458871773892012-07-03T10:36:35.441-07:002012-07-03T10:36:35.441-07:00Thanks so much for dropping in today, Debra!
