Memories are So Precious
Memories are so precious and it seems unbelievable that it’s been two years since our great granddaughter Lia Faith was born. It wasn’t the easiest birth but Alexandra was determined to have the baby natural. I think back to the long day and night while I was in the labor room with Alex praying for everything to be perfect. Memories are so precious and they live in my heart forever.
Early morning of August 22, 2018 Alex was admitted to the hospital and the doctor told her she would probably have a baby in about 6 to 8 hours. That time came and went and as we watched the hours tick away, the baby was being stubborn. Twelve hours, fifteen hours and even 18 hours went by. Midnight came and now it was August 23, 2018. It wasn’t much longer when our precious granddaughter gave birth at 12:40 AM to her precious daughter Lia Faith, our precious great granddaughter.
I don’t know about you but I believe in the power of prayer. I wrote a short prayer while at the hospital with Alex. My dear friend who was a retired labor and delivery nurse was on the phone with me throughout and I sent her a copy of my prayer. This is a blog I wrote about about that night. . http://themarthareview.com/power-of-prayer/
From the second I saw what a beautiful baby girl our amazing granddaughter had wrapped in her arms, I knew she would be the best mommy for Lia Faith. Memories are so precious and they don’t happen everyday but when they do, they are oh so wonderful. http://themarthareview.com/the-miracle-of-birth/
Do you have a special memory, one that makes your heart so happy and proud? Memories are so precious when it comes to the birth of a baby but when it’s your grandbaby having a baby it’s even more special. But I’m still wondering where the two years went.
Aww the pictures are super beautiful.
I loved the photos your shared Martha.Memories are indeed precious
Thanks Amrita. I’m trying to get a variety of photos for when I write Lia’s book!
When both my children were born and even the last time I brushed my daughters hair and kissed her and sent her off to Heaven is a special place I will never forget Or standing in the hospital being told she was gone sliding down a wall and screaming a blood curdling scream of no, it isn’t true which I still hear every day. Bringing our family and friends into her room and standing around the bed PRAYING for her to wake up as they removed the machines keeping her alieve.
Oh my dear Glenda, I can’t imagine the pain you went through. Unfortunately we have happy and sad memories. Hopefully the memories of your daughter going off to Heaven will change to happy ones, knowing that God choose her to be his special little angel, watching down over her family.
What a beautiful memory, Martha! Reading about it reminded me of some of the precious moments from my son’s childhood.
I love when my blogs bring out memories of things from my readers! So many memories made with many more to go.
Love Lia’s pics as always.. And I hope to work on something like this for my kiddos with all the pics I click of them
I’m realizing once again now that we have great grandchildren how quickly the time goes by Vidya. Thanks for visiting memories of Lia.
What a beautiful memory. She certainly is precious
Thank you Nancy, so many memories that I’m saving to make a book for Lia!
Such a cute blog.
Thanks Amanda, when I look back at Lia’s birth it seems like it was just yesterday, how could she be 2 years old already?
