Grandmothers and Happy Hearts by Nikki Willhite How many times have you heard people "put down" grandmothers?  Even the very word seems to conjure up  old women, stuck in a time warp of bad clothing, seriously outdated décor, and limited activities.  How foolish the world!  How sad that young kids today do not rush at the chance to raise children, and one day experience the joy of being a grandmother.  The truth is that there is no more beautiful word in the English language than grandmother (and mother).  I speak from personal experience.  I was blessed to be able to raise 3 boys.  Those were happy times, filled with love, fun and adventure. Now my 3 sons are married, all living close by, and with families of their own.  Now, through the power of multiplication, not only do I have 3 sons to love, but also 9 grandchildren.  And when it comes to my grandchildren, I could not love them any more than if they were my own children. It can be hard for a women when children leave home.  However, life begins again when the grandchildren appear.  My life is now filled with family activities, birthday parties and soccer games.  I feel transported to Heaven each time one of these little ones puts their arms around me in a loving hug, and tells me that they love me.  The unconditional love of the little ones is one of life's greatest blessings. Don't listen to the world's lack of wisdom when it comes to getting married and having children.  Pets, albeit wonderful, will never replace children.  Raise your children to be your best friends, and your life will be filled with more happiness and love then you could ever have imagined. You can still do other things. I run 4 websites, play the piano, drool over fabric, quilt, eat cookies and brownies made by my faithful companion (husband) of over 40 years now, download books to my Kindle,  and whatever else I feel like doing.  Value family relationships.  Anticipate that happy time when your heart will be filled with ever expanding love as you hear someone say "Grandmother",..... and they mean you! About the Author: Nikki Willhite, mother of 3 and an interior design graduate, has been writing and publishing articles on the topic of frugal living for over a decade.
