Singing with Juliana

Created by jazboots2 10 years ago
As young as she was my Juliana loved to swing. On the front porch we would go whenever she was here, even if it was for a few minutes. Nonnie would sing to you baby and you were just starting to coo and make these little excited noises. Whenever I held you when we sat alone, I would tell you all the special times we were going to have. I told you we would make it special that every chance we could we would sit in the swing and always tell each other all kinds of things. I'd sing to you and swing, swing, swing and you smiled and giggled sometimes to. I remember saying that since I could tell you loved swinging so much, I bet you will really love Disney World and that me and Poppy were going to take you and Mommy and Daddy with us and we were all going to go to Disney World as soon as you were old enough to go. I knew you wanted to go because I would sing "Disney is going to love my Juju..like we love JuJu. All the little anmimals will love my Juju, like we love Juju. And little Juju will love all the colors and all the monkeys and all the fun in Disney....Disney and JuJu...we are coming soon as JuJu gets a little bigger...and on and on I would say this to her in a songlike way, even though it didn't rhyme I would go on and on and swing and sing and keep adding other little things in. Like (and I'm still singing this..."we will stay wherever JuJu wants to...and go see the monkeys, and all the fun things that JuJu wants to...everything for my JuJu...and on and on. Oh, how I miss our little swing sessions my sweet angel. But I still sit out there and swing..but not on the porch anymore...I have your swing in the garage and at nite I sit and talk to you and sing like we used to. My little angel baby...I know you hear your Nonni, huh? Love you baby. Don't forget to come visit me again in my dreams. I love when you come. Kisses and big hugs from all of us to you.
