Michaela


We just returned from a trip to West Virginia to see our youngest granddaughter. Michaela is nine years old. She lives with her other grandparents in a small town on the banks of the Ohio River. Life is a lot slower there. Time seems to have stopped in the 50’s. Michaela, the daughter of our foster son, Todd, is happy and well loved. Her running leap into my arms with a bear hug around my neck made me know she loves me and made the journey worth the drive.

That is a beautiful picture of you! You are one hot mama! Or should I say grand-mama? It's wonderful that you are there for them. :)

Great picture. You are teaching her how to laugh and be happy. Look at the picture. She's watching you.
