Fingerprints on my heart! Grandchildren...

They come, little and big, with their giggles and wiggles.

They fill the house with laughter, requests, and sometimes...

there may be a few tears along with little tempers.

They are so sweet! Their eyes wide with enthusiasm,

inquisitiveness and even a little 'mischief' here and there.

I love the 'positive and enthusiasm' these little ones have!

'Can't do' or 'No' isn't acceptable to them. 'Yes, I can!'

'I will!' 'I have to!' Their little bodies come with Tigger springs!

They have GIANT spirits cramped in those little wriggly bodies

just waiting to come out!

Then our home is quiet.

What evidence is left when those little ones disappear?

Little hand prints and little fingerprints

and little kiss impressions left on windows and furniture.

Little sayings, crayon drawing and colorings on the

door of the refrigerator.

How soon will those get washed away

and fine art put away?

Oh, in a month or two!

I'm a long distance Grandma and

seeing those little 'reminders'

warms my heart! ♥
