Day to Day happenings in my life

Memory lane

PROMPT March 7th

Write about one of your fondest memories.
All my fondest memories revolve around births. Strangely enough not the births of my own children although of course they were amazing moments too. I think those births were tinged with trepidation fear and ineptitude.
No, the births I have the fondest memories of were those of my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have been honoured to be present at or in the vicinity of all of them. At my first grand daughter’s birth I was not only present but I was the first person to hold her. Her mother, my daughter, was very young and had found the birth traumatic so she told the midwife to give the baby to Mum while she recovered. I held her for nearly an hour. She opened her eyes and looked into mine and we bonded.
When that grandchild had her first baby I was there too.
So special.
