It's Great to be Great — Ruby Lee Cornelius

Yesterday, I received some very exciting news! I am going to be great-grandmother! Me! Incredible!

The first time I met my granddaughter, she was four years old. It was the same day I was reunited with her mother after 23 long years. My first phone call to the woman who had adopted my angel revealed that I had not only a beautiful daughter, but a darling, precocious granddaughter as well.

And, now that granddaughter is pregnant, and in February of next year I will meet my fourth generation. And, you know what's really lovely? This four-generation photograph will have TWO great-grandmothers. A-Mom (adoptive mom) and B-Mom (birth mom) will sit proudly with our daughter, granddaughter and great grandchild, beaming from ear-to-ear at the wonder of our miracle family!

There is no doubt about it! It's great to be great!
