Home, Garden and Lifestyle

When I was little I use to watch my mother with each of my brothers put them to bed. She would put them on fresh diapers and sing to them as she laid them down in a bed that she told me my grandfather made for me. I always thought that that was the greatest thing that he made it just for me. She asked me as each of my brothers came along if it would be alright if she used my bed again. Many pieces of kids furniture have come and gone through the years including kids furniture but not my bed. I have kids of my own now and we have the most beautiful nursery that my wife keeps just perfect for each of our babies as they have come home but one thing that stays from one baby to the next is my baby bed. I often wonder does my grandfather know that that bed that he so lovingly hand made for his first grandson has now made it through so many after me. As I was rocking our newest son to sleep my oldest son asked me to tell him the story about the baby bed again. He has heard this story a million times but this time as I finished he said, Do you think my kids will sleep in this bed,too?” My response was of course they will. I hope Grandad knows there will be another generation that loves my bed as well.
