Celebrating Mother's Day - A Grandmother's Love

5/1/2019

0 Comments

 
It’s that time of year again! Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. A time to cherish our own mothers and spend time with family, Mother’s Day is the perfect holiday for reflection and gratitude.

Tom and Sheila and Their Sweet Granddaughters

Grandmother, Grandfather and GranddaughtersBuddy and Shoo Shoo with Granddaughters, Finley and Emory
As we gear up to celebrate the mothers in our own lives, I cannot help but think back to a special moment Jewel of Havana was able to take part in a few months ago. After Tom gifted his wife Shelia with one our Leaf Bell Necklaces, their two granddaughters, Finley and Emory, could not get enough of the necklace. Every time they saw their grandmother, they would inquire about the necklace, examining and admiring it.
 
So, for Christmas this past year, they gave the girls a special gift—two custom-made Leaf Bell Necklaces that were a bit smaller to fit them. We have a video of their reactions here. Isn’t that just the cutest?!
 
We spoke with Tom about his wife’s love for their granddaughters and with the girls about how much they love their grandmother, "Shoo Shoo".

Girls, what it was like opening the Christmas present from Buddy and Shoo Shoo?
Finley: Exciting because we had the same necklace as our grandmother.
Emory: And it was cool because it was made special for kids!
Finley: Our grandmother got them for us and that makes us remember her.
What is special about your Shoo Shoo?
Emory: She is our grandma and we love her so much.
Finley: Yeah, we love her! And we come to their house for Christmas.
Emory: Sometimes we get special treats with her and sometimes when we go on vacations with her she puts charms on our charm bracelet so we remember the trip.

Tom, can you tell me a little bit about giving your wife the necklace?
Tom: Well, I'm not the best person on planet Earth with figuring out what to get for my wife, so she usually gives me hints. But I knew Shelia admired the jewelry, so it just gave me a jackpot way to get her gifts that she would really like. This particular piece was something that she really admired, and I knew she would like it and want to wear it.
At what point did your granddaughters take an interest in the necklace?
Tom: Once she got it, she wore it over when we visited them and the girls couldn’t stop admiring it. That gave her the idea at that time to ask if we could come up with something.
From your eyes, what was the girls reactions’ when you all gave them the necklaces.
Tom: Oh I think they were thrilled! They love their Shoo Shoo and their Shoo Shoo loves them, so they were excited. Shelia loves her grandbabies and I certainly feel that the feeling is mutual. You know, we live far away, we are kinda long-distance grandparents, so we look for the opportunity to get together and do something they will like as much as we can.
Tell me a little bit about the kind of mother and grandmother Shelia is
Tom: She has dedicated her life to loving, supporting, and guiding her children through life from the time they were born and now in adulthood. She continues that dedication with the next generation as a most beloved “Shoo-Shoo”. I couldn’t be more blessed and thankful for her as wife, mom, and grandmother.
