I have memories of my own grandparents, and now I see my mom with my kids. She crawls on her hands and knees to "rough house" with them. If she could cartwheel, she surely would. Love the image!</p> <em>You mom sounds like my mom was, Patois... She couldn't cartwheel either, but she sure could have fun with our son! Glad you loved the images, and that you are lucky enough to see your mom with your kids!</em> Delightful. I have memories of my own grandparents, and now I see my mom with my kids.

You mom sounds like my mom was, Patois… She couldn’t cartwheel either, but she sure could have fun with our son! Glad you loved the images, and that you are lucky enough to see your mom with your kids!

I am so glad you changed templates because your old one wasn't letting me comment for at least a couple weeks -- the name/email/website part stayed blank when I typed in my info and then it would show up all jumbled when I kept a key pressed down. This happened several times. So I checked back tonight and you have a beautiful new template that didn't give me any trouble. I LOVE your haiku -- they create such vivid images with cakes, hugs, kisses, cartwheels (!), Superman and fish tales. Really, really nice!</p> <em> Thank you, Clare, both for your comments on my haiku and for being patient.. and wait until you cme back, I've changed it again and I think I will keep this one a while... should be easy to comment on!</em> Hi Marcia!

I never had grandparents, but I got to watch our son with my parents and my husband’s. Magical superheroes, yep, many grandparents seem to be, Megan.
