In May of 2006, I became a Grandfather. As the birth of my first grandchild approached, I really didn’t know what to expect. I guess I just thought another person would be added to the family. WOW, was I ever wrong.
When they put that new little boy in my arms, it seems he reached inside – grabbed my heart – and then said “Got you grandpa!” Everything changed. Instead of every day being similar to the day before, there was always something new happening. It still amazes me how tired I can be, and when he meets me at the door, suddenly I feel energized.
November of 2007, my second grandson was born, and I had a better idea about what was going to happen. Once again, a little man reached inside and grabbed my heart, and once again, life was changed.
This month, my third grandson was born and he has also grabbed my heart. This little man is less than one week old and he came into this world wide-eyed and ready for everything.
