Today I am thank for grandchildren.
I remember eleven years ago today getting a call that my first would be arriving within hours.
The time was a bit early, but circumstances demanded an early delivery...so we headed off to the hospital and got there just in time to see our son hovering over a tiny little baby girl in a hospital nursery. Chesley was here, healthy, and precious.
She was our first experience as far as grand children went…and our first experience at little girls. They are indeed different than the two little boys born to us. Their grandfather had no daughters, and had no sisters. Boy was he in for surprises !
What a joy it is to be a grandparent. Grandchildren are just that. Grand children. Grand indeed.
What a legacy born to us.
“Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children…”(Prov. 17:6)
What a responsibility.
“A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children..”(Prov. 13:22)
We can’t eat cake and ice-cream with our firstborn grand-daughter on this, her birthday. We are geographically separated. (…another reason to be thankful for technology !! )
But we will never be separated in heart.
How we love you Chesley. Happy birthday sweetie…
