I hope I NEVER EVER forget the time Tanner held my hand when tears were running down my face, (Joanie was plucking hairs off my face and got way tooo close under my nose.... Painful) Tanner had been runnning around the yard having a blast, he was sooo observant he noticed my "crying" and ran over to care for me. AT ONE YEAR OLD....... HE IS AN OLD SOUL,,, a verry dear, sweet, caring, soul.
I HOPE I never forget the time Tanner rubbed my arm while I was holding him, he was LOVINGLY caressing my arm, feeling it sooo softly, gently, sooo sweet.
I HOPE I NEVER EVER EVER forget Tanner patting my butt as I cycled him around town...... He was just loving me, giving me love pats, letting me know he was enjoying our ride together. HE and I in the sunshine, with the wind blowing.... "I'm happpy you are pumping me around GRANDMA... I LOVE YOU".... I know that is what those pats on my butt meant..... Sweetheart. I cant wait for him to TALK??? To hear the words.. "I love you Grandma" Although words are not needed.. The way he looks at me tells me how much he loves and adores me... It is sooo good to be GRANDMA!!!!
I HOPE HOPE HOPE I will ALWAYS remember spending the day with Tanner.... Letting him lead the way, go where he wanted, go in what ever direction he wanted to go, stand on the corner and stair and point at the guys working on pruning the tree for as long as he wanted, sit on a bench for as long as he wanted, play with the peddles on the old mans bike for as long as he wanted, smile and tease the guys at the coffee shop, pick up every dirty leaf, feather, piece of garbage that interested him, follow his instincts and enjoy the day exactly how he wanted to.... Verry special......
I hope I NEVER forget Tanner waving good bye to me as I was driving away from his house after a day of PLAYING AND LOVING EACH OTHER... He looked thoughtful and sad, then he waved to me and blew me a kiss.... All on his own, no one told him, he sent me his LOVE...... I'm absolute MUSH, I'm done, I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS KID....He is the sweetest soul.
I HOPE .... in 20 years from now....when Tanner is 21 and I am 69 I REMEMBER how small his feet were in comparison to mine, how soft, innocent, precious he was, how much I loved the feel of his feet on mine, how much fun I had making him suck his own toes when I changed his diaper, how I covered his face with his own feet to play peek a boo...... HOW MUCH WE LOVED EACH OTHER TODAY.
I HOPE I will REMBMER FOREVER the fun Jordan and I had the other day.....
WHO knew going to the bank could be sooo much fun??? By the time we left everyone in the bank knew Jordans name, knew I was his GREAT AUNT…. knew Jordan was going to bring a sticker home to his BELOVED Mother…… Everyone said goodbye to us when we left, told us to come again….
And that was only in the bank….
We also went to the post office, pet store, dog washing bussiness, meet several old ladies coming and going on the street.. JOY was spread on each face we came in contact with.
GREAT LOVE

I hope I will always REMEMBER all the fun, love and adventures Jordan and I have enjoyed in his three young years of life here on this planet.......
He was my Buddha, Our TYPHOON
He "seemed" to like My GREEN DRINK,
Taking him to the Depwali Festival,
Teaching Jordan how to sing....... Take out the papers and the trash, or you don't get no spending CASH.......if you better scrub that kitchen FLOOORRRR or you ain't gonna rock and roll no more, yackety yack... don't talk back, take out the dog and bring in the cat............
Taking Jordan to 'church" = The Center For Spiritual Enlightenment... Where... On his first visit he clapped verrry loud when the music was done AND said to HELLO to EVERYONE as he walked down the middle of the isle on his way to the front of the auditorium at the end of the church service!!!!!!
AWLAYS AN ADVENTURE with Jordan....
ALMOST EVERYONE who meets him says, "what a character" which is sooooo TRUE...
I HOPE HOPE HOPE I will always REMEMBER Jordan saying, "I have all I need" every time it was time to leave the house and he had collected absolutely as many of his toys as he could carry.
