The Dream Wish

`                 
                               I introduce them...

                    "Mom, this is your granddaughter"
                      "Here, ...meet your grandsons"
      
                         We sit under jaded trees
                      and she tells me she is proud
                                          ~

Smiles as I read this, Carrie-- what a wonderful dream for your mom to meet your children-- I've often wondered about that too, of my brother meeting his nephews & nieces-- Super congrats on your 1st place win for this very moving write :) hugs :)
