School Girl

She is the fourth Vollrath and the third generation of Vollrath to go to this school.  She is happy to start school. I take a picture with her and her father. Then I watch as her mother, father and baby sister go with her into the school. I walk back home then thinking about how in a few years she has made me a better person. She is now a school girl, a page turns in the book of her life. I love you Cordelia Olivia Vollrath.

The eyes of my grand daughter

You are a dream of a new life, a blank page that a life will be written on. You are a little sister, a niece, a daughter, a grand daughter and a great grand daughter. You are an American. I long to look into your eyes with my eyes.

I love you and all that you will be. We share a last name and a bit of DNA and I hope I live long enough so you will remember me. I hope if you are to have memories of me that they will be good memories.

I love you more than all the stars in the heavens and atoms in the universe. I hope you will love me.

I Love Her

My newborn grand daughter Melody Jane Vollrath. She shares her middle name with my mother.
