Simon mon amour I used your shampoo today the one you left here when you last visited. With every movement of my head now your fresh fragrance dances in my mind. And in the dimly lit corridor your sweet voice resounds and sunshine suddenly floods this place. I hear your laughter filling the empty space and I remember with a smile the fun we had here when we played football, frightening cat Zelda out of our area, as we got excited and maman said we were too wild. My heart leaps in joy when I perceive the echo of your happy proclamation “goal, nonna, goal!”, (of course you always won). Can’t wait to play again, my sweet little Prince, see you in December! For now let me kiss your golden curls across the distance. Simon, mon amour, Amorottolo di nonna … mein Schätzchen mein Sonnenschein! You hear different idioms in this family but the one you already know to perfection is the language of the heart. I love you, Simon. Je t’aime de tout mon coeur. God bless you. Love, Nonna Margherita  [This message has been edited by Margherita (10-27-2007 07:39 AM).] |

Margherita ~ Simon is already three years old?!? My word! How swiftly time flies by! I know what you mean about using a loved one's shampoo and being reminded of them with every toss of your hair.  How extra special that must be for you when it is your grandson and not able to see him as often as you would like.You and he appear to have a very close relationship and I know that you are each blessed with the other.  Thoroughly enjoyed reading this heart-speak. Much love, Linda xo |

Ah. but this grandmother also uderstands the need to use shampoo belonging to our absent wee ones. I do it all the time myself. I think this is a wonderful poem to add to his poetry book from Grandma. |

Dear Misc, I have missed you too. Thank you for coming in and for the love filled words! Dear Marge, you are a sweetheart for having had this idea of including these pictures of Simon and cousin Ethan. They truly are sunshine children, like your delightful Delaney and Landry. Thank you for your friendship and for the loving words. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Oh margherita, how beautiful! I loved the way you talked about the sunshine flooding this place and could relate so well as that's what children so do! Your words made me smile very much and it is good to hear something so directly from the heart without any need to employ any particularly complex vocabulary. Wonderful! Illusive x |

Margherita - you are so blessed to have a lovely grandson and three is such a delightful age. Your poem is a lovely testimony to a grandmother's love and I so enjoyed reading it. Being a grandmother doesn't seem to be in my forseeable future and I admit to being a bit sad about that. Hugs ~ Helen |
