LITTLE WONDERS, BIG BIG LOVE!

A fairy-tale come to life...

We have all seen and heard the gushing, swooning, carrying on, and picture bragging that parents and grandparents do; and rightly so. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a proud parent or grandparent. However, since I don’t have children and won’t ever have any grandchildren I can only speak from my life experience AND I say, what about great Auntie’s?!  Most of you know that this blog was inspired by my own late great Aunty Helen whom I utterly adored (vast understatement) and we were inseparable in life and in death.  So, I know all about the LOVE of Aunties. My late Great Aunty gave me so much selfless and undying love that now I have so much to give myself and others.

I have a great niece and nephew that I simply adore and they are so beautiful they actually take my breath away. I really believe they could be in movies if their parents wanted them to. But, I am here today to just gush, and swoon, and show pictures just like any proud parent or grandparent would. I am a proud great Aunty.  And, just remember Great Auntie’s are just as loving and awestruck as grandparents.  And in this case maybe even more since I don’t’ have any children of my own and I  love these little buggers as much as I imagine I would love my own children if I had any.

They are just perfect little beings and full of love, wonder, and joy. It’s so wonderful to spend time in their world. All they know is love and happiness, Joy and Wonder. I can relate. I have long been told I am a kid at heart. And even the product I am about to unveil to the world is one for adults who are indeed kids at heart.

So, next time you hear someone say we are the proud grandparents…think for a moment about the millions of us who don’t have children but LOVE just as deeply and care just as much as the proud parents and grandparents. WE are all put on this earth to care for one another and helping with the children is like planting seeds that will prosper in abundance. There is no such thing as too much love.  

Avery Grace right

And I have so much love to give these two little darlings and all my family… (In part thanks to my own great Aunty)! Giving and sharing the love in my heart is what I do best in this world. Remember, we are all good at something.  Not to mention THE REASON FOR LIVING IS TO LEARN HOW TO LOVE!

My great niece and nephew like all my nieces and nephews are adored to the max LIKE ALL CHILDREN SHOULD BE. We are all Magical Miracles meant to love one another with all our hearts..... Keep opening your heart!

SO MUCH TO GIVE....

I guess I never really thought about it much till now, but, growing up with Aunty and Uncle D (seen with me here) we had a White Picket Fence around us!  That seems very fitting to me now. We lived together just the three of us in a four room flat; their bedroom, my bedroom, one kitchen and a small living room. It was sheer perfection. Love ruled every day! 

Here I am with them (circa mid-sixties)and their grandson, Joseph. As you can see I held on tightly to my Angel Aunty even then.
Now, don't get me wrong. My Uncle D was as kind and benevolent as his wife. They were givers extraordinaire. And we adored each other beyond words. There is so much I truly want to tell you about him. I must say I still idolize that man. Like Aunty, he treated every person that he ever met with the utmost respect. And he was a sentimental sweetheart!

The reason I write about them now, decades after these pictures were taken, almost ten years since Uncle D passed, and over two since Aunty's passing.....is because it's as if I am caught in time. That love I felt in these pictures I feel exactly the same now but with maybe a billion times more love and more affection, and even more appreciation for how miraculous these two human beings, now spirits, really are. I spent a lifetime with them so no one knows the immeasurable acts of pure kindness these two extolled better then me. And, they never ever expected anything in return.

I feel so blessed with this rush of love that comes over me whenever I reflect on their love and the love and life the three of us shared. 

And, together right now, you reading this, me writing, and Aunty and Uncle D's profound legacy of love being shared, we make the world fill up with more love! How wonderful...and, fitting for a blog called Ageless! Keep on loving....Do something great with your love....pass it on to a child, a good friend, or someone truly in need....maybe even yourself. You need love too! And as we all know by now, you can't give it until you've got it.... Here please take some of ours..... xoxoxoxoxoxo  We can never ever ever run out!  

Aunty and Uncle D you are the best part of who I am! And from above and beyond you still make the world, this blog, and the cosmos brighter....
