A Time to Remember — 18 Comments

  1. I LOVE this. I am sure Noah loves it too. How cool that you will be here for his wedding. Love your scripture you put with this too. We all have a story. And, families’ stories intertwine. Now he’s starting a new story with May. How wonderful.

  2. Fabulous memories Karen. Hope Noah sees this “Time to Remember” too! He will love it and so will May!
    Glad you will go to the cold east in January for their wedding …… sure to be another memorable family occasion.
    You have reminded me of very special grandmother and granddaughter times. As you know I have five of them and have spent wonderful times together with each of them in nature exploring and learning not only about the animals and plants but about our special bonds. Very precious indeed. Thank you.

    • Thanks, Kathleen. I just heard from Noah. He and May read the blog and Noah said he cried. I feel so blessed, as you do, to have lived long enough to see our ‘grands’ grow up and begin their adult lives.

  3. What a wonderful memory! AND what a wonderful memory you will make in January! Congratulations to all the family!
    I have a lot of wonderful memories of my five grandchildren-one boy and four girls. All so precious and married -except one! I have a book that has questions for you to answer which is actually like a story of your life. Last week I read one that I had answered over thirty years ago which asked what was the best moment you can remember (not all the words but enough for my comment). My response was not long and I ended my response ending with the words that when I held my twin granddaughters in my arms for the first time and got them to sleep I cannot think of anything that can top that. What a wonderful feeling!
    Thanks, Karen! Love and blessings. Margaret

  4. What a gift you gave him, encouraging him to journal his thoughts and observations at such an early age. Many of us have memories of our grandchildren and great grandchildren. Most of mine are in my mind and heart. Thanks for sharing yours.

  5. Oh Mom! Such a beautiful picture of his early writing life and celebration of your relationship. I hope I can have such a grand adventure with my grandchildren some day (assuming I get to have some!)

    • Thanks, Julie. It was fun for me to write about this since the event is still so fresh in my mind after all these years. I know you’ll be a wonderful grandma when your time comes–and it will! 😊

  6. Love this! (And love your grandson’s name. haha) What a wonderful memory of your now grown up about-to-be-married grandson. I pray I will be able to experience having grandchildren one day. 🙂 What a gift!

    • Thanks, Sherry. Memories are so important to me now as I age. I feel blessed to have grandkids and hope you get to have them too. I know you’ll be great. 🙏

  7. Precious memories Karen. To have watched Noah grow up and shared in some of the significant learning adventures as you did builds strong bonds that will continue into your relationship with him and may and future family members. What a blessing!

  8. Dear Karen,
    What an endearing “memory”! Just shared it with Ed and tears streamed down our faces. Lucky Noah to have a grandmother share her love for journaling. I’ve had so many super memories of you doing the same at our All Gal’s camping events. Loved every one of them. God bless you and all that you do to make our lives memorable.

    • Terri, what a beautiful comment. Thanks so much. I know you have a rich relationship with your grandchildren too and now with your great grandchildren too. I appreciated all the journaling sessions we had in the wilderness during our many all gals trips–very special times and now special memories.

  9. That is a great story. I should have my grandchildren write a journal of the things we do together. Thanks for such a lovely idea.
