It’s Watery Wednesday and I’m makin’ some water, in the form of tears. A lot of things make me cry. Sad movies, like My Dog Skip or Charlotte’s Web. Heck, even sad commercials get me. I cry at weddings and funerals and when my boys give me sappy Mother’s Day cards. I cry when I get mad, or frustrated and (I hate this) when I make mistakes at work. I even cried when I was watching Shamu the Whale at Sea World. Don’t ask me why, it just got to me, OK?
But this right here is one of the best things I’ve ever cried over. My grand daughter, Freya. This is a picture of me holding her for the first time. I thought I could get through it without crying. But then I had to go and try to say, “Hi sweetie, it’s your Grandma Ginger.”
Oh shoot. I just made myself cry again, y’all.
Watery Wednesday is hosted by 2sweetnsaxy at Eyes, Mind and Heart. It’s so easy, even cavemen and southern grandmas can do it! Just post a photo, on Wednesday, y’all, of something with water in it. Then link back to Watery Wednesday so other folks can enjoy your photo! That’s all ya gotta do, I swaunee.
What a wonderful moment 🙂 So sweet and different idea for watery wednesday! Lovely old scandinavian name, Freya.
I’m the very same way, so don’t feel bad – you’re not alone!
But you’re right, this is one for crying over & it’s expected to cry over a grand baby- I sure do! hehehe
God bless you & that new baby!
Congrats on the new little one. I like your Watery Wednesday!
Being a crybaby myself, I envy you. You let your tears run freely, whereas I have mastered how to hold them back. Anything beautiful or true even if it’s just a bouquet of flowers or a tender picture of bonding between people like yours can make my eyes water. But I hold them back, fight them even. I wish I could just let it out like you do.
And my tears welled up when I read this. I completely understand you about the tears. I’m the same way. 🙂 To me, this photo is priceless!
That is a unique take on watery wednesday! Congrats on the new life.
Lovely photo! I tear up at the oddest moments but there’s nothing odd about holding your first grandbaby and falling in love! Congrats….I visited sometime recently and came around again today. Nice blog. We just spent a week in NC on vacation on OBX but did a little tour of other few towns and really like your state. Paul keeps talking about heading to the Carolinas for good and it may just happen!
Congratulations on your new granddaughter. There’s nothing like grandkids.
That is so adorable! Congratulations!
Oh, heck, everything makes me cry!
Since I cry at strangers’ babies (I would definitely cry if I could see Freya in person), there is no possibility I’m going to be dry-eyed when my first grandchild appears in September.
Many congratulations to you.
You just made me cry! She’s absolutely gorgeous Ginger!
What a sweet photo. (Belated) Congratulations on your granddaughter. She’s absolutely adorable! And totally worthy of shedding a tear or two over.
(So is My Dog Skip. Love, love, love that movie.)
Oh, Congrats!
Awesome photo. You’re both beautiful. I’d be bawling all over her little face.
