I don't see much of all my grandkids either .. one I haven't seen for a year .. his mother doesn't bother with us much.

As you know mum is in care in a dementia specific ward. She is bed ridden and has not been able to communicate for some time.I visit her every second day and I always hold her hands and say a couple of prayers out loud to her.The Hail Mary always brings a calmness to her. Her little face softens and she peacefully looks up at me. It is beautiful to watch what I believe is Our Lady comforting mum in this way. <br /><br />So happy you found your rings, and in such a beautiful way!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013863790358726344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15475469.post-13285678596640844262011-05-03T09:03:20.785+10:002011-05-03T09:03:20.785+10:00Gosh I got goosebumps reading this....about 4 week...Gosh I got goosebumps reading this....about 4 weeks before moving to Australia, I removed my wedding ring to have a shower and my young niece picked it up and lost it. We searched high and low to no avail and I arrived in Australia ringless and upset. My grandmother passed away 4 weeks after our arrival so we made the trek back for her funeral. I was given a ring of hers to look after until her coffin was closed and as it was too small for my finger I placed it inbetween the front seats of a car we have borrowed. In the morning we could not find my nana's ring and tore the car apart to search for it and still unbelieveable to us to this day, we found my wedding ring. It is such an amazing story and one I would never have believed if I hadn't experienced it in the flesh.<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15475469.post-41231776942588524572011-05-02T21:31:59.734+10:002011-05-02T21:31:59.734+10:00Gina, reading this gave me goosebumps all over.

I remember it being such a big honor, even as a young girl. Mary does indeed watch over us and today, my friend, she showed you how! Love this story.

I was just thin...Gina that was such a lovely read! I was just thinking about my Grannies today, we lived in the South of England and they lived in Scotland and N.Ireland so we only saw them a couple of times a year. I missed ever really having a relationship with them and now have done the same to my kids. While it's a shame not to write proper letters anymore, I'm very thankful for emails and Skype! <br />So glad you found your rings too, one of mine belonged to my Scottish Granny and is worth more than all my jewellery put together - I'm too scared to ever take it off in case I lose it!<br />Have a great week,<br />Sandra x<br /><br />(PS Just had a race around the Lake this morning with Husband and Dog!
