August 22, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Gillian.

Today was the big day. Gillian has been rehearsing this day for many years and finally it has happened. Her first grand child is visiting her in Nova Scotia. Ever since she built her house she has been preparing for grandchildren. She has purchased multiple crib quilts along with at least 5 rocking horses. Her basement is full of toys. With her own hands, she has built two rocking horses. This all started well before her two boys were even married. Her comment to Mary was that she has been looking forward to this day since the day the boys were born. Gillian is a scientist who deals with genetics so she knows that the most important aspect of any ancestor was that they survived and that they had children. The rest of us in Gull Bay had grandchildren long ago while Gillian waited and hoped. And she prepared her home for her future grandchildren. We are all so pleased that Tim and Kate and baby Sierra are visiting Gill in Nova Scotia, but Gillian is thrilled to bits!!
