Dear Carl,How can it be? Five years already since you were born!! You were my first...the beautiful baby that made me a Grandma! The first one to look in my eyes, give me a hug and say "Gwamma"!
You can't imagine how much I love you. And I'll tell you a secret. I didn't know I'd love you this much. I was so clueless before you were born. I didn't know that it was possible to love my daughter's baby as much as I love my daughter. YOU taught me that I can love my grandchildren as much as I love my own children. What a wonderful life!! From the minute I saw your sweet little face I knew that you and I were going to be a team!
I remember the day you were born. We had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. We had done all of the things we could think of to get ready for your coming! Your little vegetable garden nursery was ready. There was a diaper stacker with lady bugs, carrot handles on your changing table and all the other touches we knew would make you feel happy to be with us.
I was in the room when you were born. It was one of the most marvelous moments of my life. I watched your Mommy and Daddy look at you with so much love. Aunty Krista and I hugged and cried. You were wonderful! I was a Grandma now. I held you in my arms and knew you were the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. My heart was bursting with love for you. I will never forget how special I felt.
You've been my constant joy, since you were minutes old. You are a special guy in my life. You taught me how to be Gramma. Now I have all your cousins to love and be Gramma for--and it's the best!
Carl, you are an interesting guy. I love to talk to you about the things you are interested in talking about. I like to have adventure afternoons together. You are a Super Lego Guy!! I can't believe the creations you can make. I will always keep them safe! You are the best Big Brother around, and I am so proud of you!
I know you will love starting school next year...and I know you and I will still find time to spend together! Happy #5 Birthday Carl!! I Love You to pieces!! Gramma
