ONE TO ONE WITH GRACE

Grace, being a second child, is blessed with having a kor kor always by her side. And with mummy operating a child care centre at home, she is never without a playmate. My lament is I  have less one to one time with this little princess. However, I did manage to catch some private moments with her.

Grace snuggling up to me for comfort
Enjoying a ride up the sky : Higher Po Po !
Sharing Po Po's hobby ; Let's do some digging 
Hold me Po Po . I can ride!!
Look Po Po my palm is not big enough
Let me help you with the eggs Po Po. 
Sharing a book with Po Po
These are precious moment indeed. And when she's all grown up, and I may no longer be there for her, may she recall these moments with her Po Po. Here's a poem that express my very thought !

A Granddaughter for Me

Tiny newborn baby girl
With your cool striped hat,
Looking right into my eyes – 
Can you imagine that?

Do you recognize that I’m 
Your nana? If you do,
Your brother’d let you know that I
Will love you through and through.

Of course, he’ll always be my boy
But you will be my girl.
If he’s the gold around my heart,
Then you will be the pearl.

So welcome, grandchild number two;
I’m thrilled that you are here.
We’ve waited nine long months for you
To finally appear!

That's such a beautiful poem. I especially loved the line:

If he’s the gold around my heart,
Then you will be the pearl.

I'm glad you bear them proudly like a precious ring of your legacy around your heart.
