It is my special and unusual gift to be the grandmother of eleven wonderful granddaughters. My life has been enriched with all the shared experiences involving their development: their birthday parties, dance and musical recitals, school plays and grandparents’ days, etc. The holidays are festive and fun to share together. I hope that some day all of the girls, from the oldest (a high school senior) to the youngest (two months old) will cherish the memories as I do and know the happiness they have given me. I wish their great grandmothers were alive to share the great pride and love I have for them. We call them our precious jewels and that’s exactly what they are!
