A porcelain and gold music box
that plays "You Are So Beautiful To Me"
I gave to my baby girl, my love,
the reason I was ever to be.

I am here because she is.
I was meant to live for her.
My life, a blur, but for years
tears went down, love for sure.

And my grandie girl....oh my.
She won't, if not for I.
I love so much now, freedom see?
Time goes by, oh why?

Yes, that's what grandchildren can do to us, dear Dixie. You are beautiful to her too. How precious this is.

Poignant.

My granddaughter is 4 now... and the time is moving like lightning here. If we could only slow it a little, eh?

She has her Grandmother's mouth and (it looks like) eyes. Beautiful baby girl -- a poem that makes me smile from my core, Dixie.

She is gorgeous, dear Dixie. How I do understand your feelings! Just yesterday evening I was moved to tears for a picture my daughter sent me of my youngest grandson, who will be two on Sept. 30th. They are a blessing in our lives.

Love and hugs.

How beautiful is this?? We have seen you travel a long and hard road, Dixie, and look at the good place it has led you to...yes, it is GRAND, isn't it, grandma?
