A Grandmothers Love -as seen by (me!) Sandra, tvgp
The best example I can provide is this:
A toddler, who has just handed a tiny, sticky, booger from his nose to his grandma.
-the mom.. She is slightly horrified.. Apologizes to the grandma, hands her son some Kleenex, gives a brief lecture on manners, digs for the bottle of hand sanitizer from her purse..
But the grandma!
She accepts the tiny, sticky, booger as if it were a diamond.
"Did you pick this just for me you sweet thing you..". And she gives her grandchild a big kiss.

I have written about it before; the strongest power in the entire universe; -a grandmothers love.
And i was reminded when i watched martha meltzer talk about her granddaughter yesterday..
The way she lit up.. Had such a smile retelling some family classics.. -and she shared the same secret my parents know..
"You get to be so much more relaxed"
More love; less responsibility...
Everytime i watch my own parents with my children.. When i watch the expressions of any loving grandparent
I just know.. It is the greatest love their is to know as a human being. -so i always silently pray.. 'Please Jesus.. Let me live long enough to experience this! .. To be a rockin' grandma!"
Amen
***
For the record: i was in the company of martha meltzer because i am in the process of creating a documentary, along with jane and casey, for the city of pleasanton... -details withheld.. But to honor the literary arts..
