Joe and Marci's #5

Is this cute enough?..........This baby has a message for me.....Look at those eyes.......And this
was just a couple hours after he was born........He woke up for this moment!...........He didn't even
blink..............And he wasn't crying.........This was a sacred moment.........And I could tell you what
he was saying to me.......But I think I shan't.......Well maybe I will..........But then again......I just
think that I really don't want to.......Are you anxious to know Joe?..........Later Hon!.............
I believe I was the first visitor to see him..........Is that special?............Joe called me
and said ...."Why don't you come on over and see him?".........And I just went in and took my
nightgown off......There was no hesitation.......I knew that he and I had a rendezvous to keep......
And he was so darling........His little heavenly influence was with him..........And I could tell that
the spirit of those that he just left were still close to him.......And still watching to make sure that
he arrived safe.........There was an infinite majesty that surrounded him.......Only minutes away
from heaven.......He was trying his very best to be pleasant in this strange place having just
left such an abundance of love.............Can you even imagine.......anything on earth being as pure
and sacred and so full of love as this tiny beautiful little precious baby seconds away from
heaven?.....................And then imagine the tears saying goodbye to all the loved ones there?
...............This is our belief.......And nothing on earth could be more beautiful.........Thank you
Joe and Marci for allowing me such a heavenly moment......to hold your little one and know
that I was holding in my arms.......a tiny influence still full of the light of heaven..............

All my love forever.............Great Grandma Tiki...........

May 2007

This is the family at Lance & Leslie's last summer for Matt's Homecoming & Houston's Farewell. All five kids together!

How did I get so many treasures in my family?

To all the little golden nuggets in my Gold Mine!........

Here I am......sitting here in my little cottage......surrounded by all the memories
of my past........And just drinking in all my blessings.....I must have a magic cup.....Because it
just keeps getting larger..........I am at this moment......The richest little grama in the entire
universe..............There comes a moment when I hardly have the strength to hold my cup......
I'm just sitting here.....And I have this little precious grand-daughter who just calls me up and
says....."Grama.....Go to your George Web.......And there is a surprise for you".......And there
on my George is ........An entire gallery of Michael Music coming down to me on a secret
network from Heaven............And what am I doing?.......Weeping......Because I know when I
ever receive something that touches me this much.......Heaven is performing its magic......And
I know the instigator..............Our Father in Heaven works through his children on earth if
they are in tune..........And am I lucky?.............This music has ......more than anything else brought back my past with my sweetheart.........This was our era......This was our moment in
the sun...................It just wasn't long enough........The Lord knew......how lonesome I would be
........And he has sent my way........everything I would possibly need.........First I had my little
job with "Certified Cable".....when I got to work with Susans boys.......And she gave me my
little Tiki............Then the Temple called me to work there........This was all in the course of
17 years............I think it would be honest to say........These years I was in shock mode.......And I was trying to survive.........I wasn't very strong.......Gradually step by step.....I picked up
a little moxy.......And I have tried to realize why I was left here?.........I have studied and prayed.......And still I know not........But I know God is in charge.....And he doesn't make mistakes........I have been given the strength up to this point........Now I realize this time since
I have been not working in the temple.....This time has been the hardest of all.......But I have
Susan......who has been a God send to me......If there is anything I need......She is there......And
she and I have grown to really understand each other........And it is great when there is someone to talk to...........And we have reached a plateau......Where we can talk and disagree....
This is huge........And also wonderful...................Anyway.......How lucky I am......And then I
have Joe who just gave me an extra TV?.......I cherish it.....in my bedroom......And then Susan
gave me first her Computer.......Later I bought a newer one.......And then Justin and Cindy just showed up one day with a brand new Frigerator.......Bless their hearts.......And I forgot.....One day Joe called me up and said...{ 8:AM].....Go to your door granma.....There is someone who
wants to say hi to you........It was a Plumber with a brand new toilet.....At Joe's request.......
That was super..........I haven't mentioned everything......But can you imagine?.........There is
just me and the walls having a conversation and........out of the blue.....There is someone
floating down sprinkles of gold dust on top of my head........And of course I know.......It is
a completion of the Gold Mine that Dad and I shared........And it is he in heaven reminding
me how wealthy we both are............Am I just the luckiest?............I think so........I don't know
if this will fit on my George page........Well......Anyway......Thanks to you all......for being so
generous with me.........And just knowing that you are all there......I just short of heaven.....
........You just being there......Have made my being put on pause........A little less hurtful.......

And I adore you all.....................Just me......Grama......
P.S. Thanks Britt......That was just super!.......And even slightly wonderful.....Did I say
thanks?..........Oh yeah!.......It is just great......Having all your grandkids smarter than you are....
Do I feel like a Putz?......................And to Justin and Cindy.....My beautiful White Stove.......And
to Joe.....For my Brand new Potty Chair............You are all just fantastic........

The biggest tree in the Forest.....

This is practise............................!!!!!!!!!

.....To all the little leaves that lay so quietly on your own little branch that is attached to the one Jumbo Nielsen Oak Tree that overlooks all the others .......Be kind to those............Who are in the same Forest but maybe carrying burdens that might seem overwhelming.............They are our brothers and sisters.......And no matter where any of us were placed in the soil........We all must bloom where we are planted......It may require our time.....energy.......muscle.........But we have been blessed in our family tree......To have mighty boughs.....And strong seedlings...........And we must share..........This is what the Patriarch of our family has left so beautifully said in his last thoughts for us all..............Regardless of the color.....creed......gene pool.....language barrier.....gender..

And I do believe you will find all of these herein stated......But we are united.....And we will fight to the end..........This is my prayer........Yo!........Gram.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM....I SET YOU UP WITH YOUR OWN BLOG...ENJOY MANY HOURS OF FUN COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR FAMILY... LOVE YOU TONS SUE
