What does it mean to be a great-grandmother?

Great grandmothering means another generation of love surrounding a newborn child. It means that a new great grandson stands one rung higher on the ladder of life and can see even farther into the past and the future. It means there is one more family member around to offer a hand and a hug when the young one stumbles. It means there is someone around who knows that time ultimately reveals all to those willing to listen.

My mother-in-law Ginny, was just blessed with her fourth great-grandchild. Congratulations to all concerned, including the little fellow.
