Great Grandma Pulley

There are times in our lives when we get to look back and think how grateful we were that we didn't miss them. For the past several months due to our proximity to Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa Muir we have been able to enjoy the company of Great Grandma Pulley. Sometimes it might seem hard to have a conversation with her and sometimes she seems, well, old- fashioned but if anyone has seen how she loves they know what I'm talking about.


Since I've been in school Andrew and Lily have been spending most of their afternoons and evenings at Grandma and Grandpa Muir's. They have each had amazing moments with their great grandmother.


When Lily started standing up next to furniture Great Grandma Pulley started working with her. They had a daily exercise routine where Great Grandma would hold Lily's hands and work patiently with her until she could manage one, then two, and then many steps. They did this every day and now Lily has the confidence she needs to walk holding onto only one finger. I know that Great Grandma Pulley's help will be a huge influence on her walking on her own.



Andrew and Great Grandma Pulley made their own bond. He would push his limits she would correct him and he would share his amazing loving nature with her. She got him to stop spitting on people during one of the first weeks that she was here . He repayed her with hugs. Often Grandma Muir would hear him say simple phrases of appreciation and love to Great Grandma Pulley and would feel sorry that her mother couldn't hear the precious words she was being given.


I think that Great Grandma Pulley has had a wonderful affect on my children and we will miss her very much now that she has gone back up north. To all those tht get to be near her now "don't miss out!"
