This has been a most wonderful day. Our first day to be grandparents and I am already getting a glimpse of how difficult it will be living so many miles away from this precious grandson. Just a little more than 12 hours between us, but enough to make it impossible to have a daily or even weekly visit. However, instead of pining over the distance, I am choosing to fill my mind with thoughts of a time when we can have him near; growing up just down the road from his grandparents the way I grew up, on the same acerage that five generations have now shared with our grandson beginning the sixth. Won't that be 'grand' to have him close enough to see him most everyday! Of course it will; maybe that's how the name 'grand'child began.
As I held this sweet baby and talked to him tonight, he opened his eyes and looked up at me as though he was understanding all that I said, absorbing every word like a new sponge soaking up water; memorizing my voice while providing me with memories to cherish for the rest of my life.
