Anxiously Awaiting Our New Family Member!

You came to me in a dream not so long ago, my dearest little grandson. I dreampt that you were born on May 24th and weighed 8 lbs. and 2 ozs. In my dream, you were beautiful with dark hair and a sweet little face and your mommy and daddy and sister were so jubilant to finally have you here with them! Just as I felt in my dream!

I am your maternal grandmother Pam, dear Colton--and just wanted to write this letter to express to you how very much we are looking forward to having you here with us! I know your Mommy is so ready to hold you in her arms after these many months of lovingly carrying you in her womb. But so many are here waiting anxiously to greet you, to get to know you, to hold you, to love you. Please don't wait too awfully long to make your appearance and please know that when you do arrive in this outside world that all of us here will do our best to make it as safe and comforting and welcoming as we possibly can.


You have a beautiful little 2nd cousin named Kannon Cole who is just a couple of months ahead of you and I know you will have fun getting acquainted with him and growing up with him through the years. You have your 1st cousins, Isis and Zoe who are just precious and will love to get to know you too someday! And then there is our sweet little Jadyn who is also a 2nd cousin who will be glad to know you one day too!

So many in this life waiting to meet you, to love you, dear little one! I know your daddy is anxious to get a relationship going with his son--and your big sister needs her baby brother so she can begin the natural process of learning all about being the "older and wiser" sibling. So, if it's not too soon, please just feel free to come joyfully into this world full of folks who are here anxiously awaiting the true joy of meeting you, loving you, knowing you. Always we will be here to guide you, nurture you and keep you safe and always, always, you will be loved and cherished by this grandma who adores all of ther children and grandchildren far more than written words can convey.

Each new life is a true blessing and a true gift and love is the greatest gift of all. This grandma, your grandpa up north, your mommy and daddy and sister and so many others awaiting you all have a wealth of love to share with you! Hurry home to us, Colton! We're waiting with loving hearts!
