A Nurturing
Grandmother
As I await the birth of my first grandchild any day now, I aspire
to be as nurturing as my own grandmother who sacrificed a lot and taught me so
much. Most family and friends
have told me having grandchildren is much more fun than having kids. I cannot wait to take on my new role as a loving
grandmother!

Having just watched the high school play Alice in Wonderland, this piece reminds me of the Queen of Hearts.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the Queen was not the loving grandmother type, but I know you will be.
I like the caricature you created.
I love the little grandma part. but the background fascinates me. I would like to hear more of how you created it.
ReplyDeleteYou will be a good grandma, but it is exhausting! you will be glad to send them home.
