Acts of love

It is the little things isn't it? Yesterday was my birthday and my two GSs stayed over the night before. They came into our bedroom at about 6.00am, sang Happy Birthday and elder presented me with a card he'd made. The 4-year old obviously felt he had come empty handed so he fetched his hot water bottle (cold from the night before) and (whispering) asked his grandad to fill it.

He then presented me with a warm hot water bottle and a big smile

Adorable! Yes, it's the little things.

How absolutely lovely Anya and Happy Birthday for yesterday.

Yes you're right Grannyknot it is those little things that make you feel so very loved. DH brings me a cup of tea in bed every morning. Sometimes ridiculously early if he has an early start but I shouldn't complain. DGC love making cards and can make a card for almost any occasion. I have a box full of them. Happy Tuesday Grandma is one of my particular favorites.

My DH and myself taking our 14 year old granddaughter shopping to buy a gift for her friend. She got DH to distract me and when we got home she presented me with a necklace too.

DH never leaves the house without giving me a kiss. Whether he's going to the paper shop or just to spend an hour or two in his workshop in the garden.
I confess to getting a little annoyed sometimes if I have to stop what I'm doing but I love it really.
DGS's charge in the back door, run and hug me shouting "nannie!" as if they haven't seen me for months. Bliss !

Oh KatyK how lovely, lucky you.

I know! I meant to say there was a little verse inside the box which reads:

Grandma
You held my tiny hand when I was little
and I hold you in my heart forever.

Ok off to blubb now.

I'll blub with you

Now we are all blubbering it is so sweet.
Mr.G can hear me put my tea cup on the stainless steel sink drainer and always shouts "do you need a top up sweetheart" he is so thoughtful.

If I wake up during the night DH's arm is always wrapped around me.

He always holds my hand when we're out.

DH has trouble keeping warm so if the bed is cold I'll go up whilst he secures the house and lay on his side of the bed to warm it up.

Oh shoot. I can't think of any they do for me. (I know they love me though)

DH cleaned the sink this morning. Does that count? (I did tell him to last night)

Cleaning def counts lol.

Happy birthday for yesterday Anya.

Ah. Good!

Many years ago, when DD had just gone off to her first Brownie camp, and DH was working late I made bacon, new potatoes and peas for tea for my DS and I. He ate everything up and went off to play. He must have been about 6yrs. He came back with a piece of paper he'd carefully folded. When I opened it, inside he'd written, "Dear Mum, What a lovely supper". I kept it for years!!

On cold and frosty mornings when I was working my DH used to scrape the ice from my car windscreen and ensure the heater was on so I was cosy. Now we only have the one car never a problem 'cos he always drives........

DD has just rung for the third time this to make sure I am alright before she goes out for the day. She knows I've got a bit of a bug going on. I guess that's love.

Nope; keep racking my brain but, nope.none that I can think of....

Don't let it get to you Tegan. I'm steering clear of this thread

Oh Babe! I bet there are some.

Absolutely zilch comes to mind.........
I'll join you Nightowl and Tegan!

(that was to Tegan) Tegan - think back to when they were little.

I think I've got a little note somewhere, from when one of them was little. But it might have been addressed to their Dad.
