*~*~* Photo Friday - Letter L *~*~*

Thinking of letter L, Love, Life and Light come my mind.

Picture one shows a sculpture on the driveway opposite the entrance my home.
Two Lovers hugging and kissing. The past months changed peoples attitude, they were successfully told to keep distance because.........

The second picture was taken shortly after my granddaughter was born, June 1992.
New Life. At the request of my and -in-law I was present that day afternoon till past midnight. Lina entered the world little before midnight, and after
the necessary work was done, Mary, the midwife, put this "package" in my arms.
I was relieved and dead tired.

MySeek that is a sweet photo of you and your granddaughter. That must have been an awesome feeling to see your granddaughter Lina come into the world.

Beautiful photo of you and your little granddaughter, a very special moment indeed. I love the hugging and kissing sculpture too. Great "L" pictures, Myseek.

Thank you, Maudie, for your sweet comment. That sculpture I discovered about 10 years ago in an antique shop. I saw it somehow hidden in a corner, and I knew where its future home would be.LOL

These are such perfect representations of the letter L, Myseek! I'm sure the second photo is a treasured reminder of the day your granddaughter was born!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Every moment of that day and time when this little wonder entered this world, is written on my mind and heart.

You already showed the "light".... it's the glow of love on your face holding Lina.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Thank you, MrsJoe, for your thoughtful comment. No light could compete with all the love and gentle warmth I felt inside.

And what a lovely package she is! Beautiful, and you look pretty darn good for being up all those hours waiting for Lina. I like the kissing statue too!

The two lovers sculpture is so elegant. It was a long evening before your granddaughter was eventually born but well worth the wait - I would think your own birthing experience and calm presence was reassuring for your daughter. What a bonny baby is Lina :- )

The cause for me being present all that time had a sad reason. Some years before, my daughter's just born baby passed away two days later. It was a weekend, and the medical team had messed up...... At the hospital where Lina was born, the midwife and the rest of the medical team knew about what my daughter had gone through, and they appreciated my presence...... And now, Lina's second child will be born end of August.

Oh Myseek, that is so sad! I'm very happy that all went well with Lina's birth and congrats on second grandchild coming to you in August!!

Lilium, when I saw that sculpture, I knew where it would get attention in the future. When Lina was born, I talked to her for some time and promised that I would always be there for her, even when far away. And I kept my promise, took time for special Oma hours, supported her university studies which she finished with her Master's certificate 4 weeks ago. I am at the time being not a grandma to touch, but there is a special bonding.

Our life's journey is not always "showered with roses", it is important to learn how to handle challenges and be there for the ones you love and prove that trust is not just a word. That is enough wisdom for now. LOL

Isn't that the truth! Going through a horrible challenge at the moment, no roses in sight, hopefully in the near future I can begin to relax. Thank you wise one!

These days I feel like being in a survival test. I have the feeling that the world has become a "madhouse". The challenges are manifold! Stay safe and strong.....
