Is forever enough?
July 7, 2009 | My Jottings
Tomorrow my daughter Sharon, her husband Chris and their three children will be coming to Minnesota for a long-awaited visit. The third floor guest suite (I’m still not used to saying that) has fresh sheets on the four beds, a small, stocked refrigerator, a newly installed window A/C, games, books, a TV, new night lights, and a quirky bird clock that sounds a hoot owl at noon, a cardinal’s song at three, and a kingfisher at five.
I haven’t seen this part of my family for one year and two months. Children grow and change a lot in that amount of time. I have never seen Mr. McBoy‘s permanent teeth, Mrs. Nisky’s short haircut, or Little Glee-girl walk and run, so I’m pretty excited about their visit.
The video/photo montage below is something Sharon put together a while back, and in anticipation of their soon arrival, I thought I’d share. This is their middle child, Mrs. Nisky. 
She loves to collect things, draw and color very detailed pictures, and help her mama and daddy. She’ll be in Kindergarten in the fall, and she’s so excited about it she mentions it every day.
The lyrics are very touching. “How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough?”
Those sound like Grandma words to me…
What an incredible video Sharon put together. Thanks for sharing it. I also loved the song. What a great way to preserve memories! You must be getting very excited about their imminent visit.
I must say I am partial to Mrs. Nisky. I grew her myself.
I hope you are having a nice visit!
What a wonderful, lovely, beautiful, heartwarming, simply the best thing ever, slideshow.
I loved it!
And I LLLLOOOOVVVEEDD that song.
And the pictures were great.
I just liked it a whole stinkin’ lot.
Mommy words too!!! I loved that song and the pictures of your little Mrs Nisky are priceless. I think Mrs. Nisky’s Mommy will treasure that video more and more as each year passes. Blessings to your family.

Well those babies are just plum full of puddin’ and need lots of squeezin’!
You have to do the “bird talk” with them because it keeps you from squeezin’ them way too tight… I hope the visit is full of laughter and little people memories.
