Today is National Grandparents’ Day in the U.S.

Posted on by

grandparents_dayNational Grandparents’ Day in the U.S. is always the first Sunday after Labor Day in September, and has been ever since 1978.  I never knew this when I was younger, but now that Steve & I have 2 young grandchildren they have happily 🙂 informed us about this day.

In my opinion grandchildren are some of the most wonderful gifts we could ever receive.  They have brought joy and happiness back into our lives after Morgan was taken from us, even though the pain was so immense.  There will always be a missing part in our hearts, and I know the pain will never disappear, but these 2 precious children soften the pain every time they mention their Aunt Gigi (Morgan). They remind us of all the wonderful things they remember about her.  They giggle and show us their art work, just like Morgan always did.  And their smiles are contagious — just like Morgan’s.

The older of our 2 grandchildren (the 7-year old) reminds me all the time that I should never give up and that we need to “get the bad guys.”  This helps to keep me going in my quest for justice for Morgan.  I am, and always will be, so very grateful for our grandchildren – – Steve and I have been blessed.

 

 

 

National Dog Day is Today…

Today, August 26 is National Dog Day, so I would like to recognize all the wonderful dogs in this world that not only give us companionship, but have become one of our family.

Morgan’s puppy Wylah May was too young at the time of Morgan’s murder to be able to protect her, but trust me now that she is all grown up she is one of the most loyal and protective dogs I have ever seen.

Morgan loved her puppy Wylah May, and in this post I would like to honor that love on National Dog Day.
