Our granddaughter turned nine yesterday. Over the years
Grandpa and I have taken lots of pictures and videos of her. Some grandparents
carry around a brag book, a little photo album that fits in a purse or shirt pocket
and holds a dozen or so snapshots of their grandchildren. Our brag books were
on our smart phones. Now they’re in the cloud.
We delight in watching Sara grow up. We want to remember
all of it. So smart phone in hand, we’ve snapped away happily. Last year her
parents asked for copies of our brag books. So, I organized the photos by year,
saved them to a thumb drive, gift wrapped the drive, and put it under the
Christmas tree for my daughter and son-in-law to open on Christmas Eve. I was
shocked to discover that in the last nine years Grandpa and I have taken 2,560
photos and videos of her! What a treasure trove of memories.
This birthday song came about because of those photos and
videos. This music story is a brag book of sorts. So, if you grit your teeth
when a grandmother opens her purse and pulls out her brag book, I’ll understand
why you are skipping this music story. However, it has a surprise ending. You
won’t want to miss that.
From the album
“Silly or Celebratory” this video is scrolling playback of the song.
