Your Gramise

Jon Kent, Zoey and Nathan,

Today marks one year that your Gramsie, my momma went to heaven,  One year of each of your lives that she never got to see.  All the accomplishments and milestones that you have each reached in the past year she never got the pleasure of watching.  However, she got to see so much of your beginnings.  She loved each of you so very much.  More than I think I even knew.  You were her life.  She talked about you, bragged about you, spoiled you.  I grieve more for what you are missing by not having her in your lives.  How she would have added so much to each of your days.  If that is one thing I want you to do for me it's this.. Don't forget her.  Even if you only remember her by pictures or stories that you have been told.. hold on to them.  Cherish them and let your Gramsie live on through each of you.  I love you my sweet babies.. and so did she.

Love,

Momma

Snaggle

Jon Kent,

This morning you lost your third tooth.  Which is pretty amazing since you are just 6 years old and many of your peers have yet to lose their first.  Nonetheless, you are now a snaggled tooth little boy.  A cute one if I do say so myself.  You lost your first top tooth today.  Your front tooth.  It had been loose for awhile, but you wouldn't let anyone pull it.  So this morning while brushing your teeth I brushed it and "pop" out it came.  I was shocked and thrilled for you.  And you were pretty excited yourself.  "I get to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy", you said.  You couldn't wait to go to school and tell your teachers and show your friends.  And the irony of it all is that you are learning about teeth in school right now.  You came home and called your granny and pawpaw and they were equally excited.  I sent a picture to all the family letting them know you had lost your tooth.

I am so thrilled for you.  I know it makes you happy to have the spot light for a bit.  Sometimes that is hard when you are the oldest of three.  But today you were it and I am so proud to be your momma.  Always am.  So enjoy the money from the tooth fairy.  Story has it that she gave you $20.  Something about not having any dollar bills and wanting to give you a little extra for your DS that you are wanting.  Good tooth fairy she must be.

I love you bubba, always and always.

Love,

Momma
