The Day My Life Changed . . . Again

There have been many days in my life that have been "life changing." March 19th was the most recent and one of the most dramatic.

On March 19th at 12:01 PM my daughter and her husband gave birth to their first child and my first grandchild. It was an extraordinary day and one that I know I will never forget. Just a glimpse of that baby through the glass and I knew that I had lost what little of my heart I had left. He already owned part of it from the time I knew that he was being formed in his mother's womb.

But to see his face . . . That was special.











And then to hold him in my arms . . . That was unbelievable.









I am incredibly blessed. God has given me a family that loves me and that family is growing.

Does it get any better than this?

  2. "Does it get any better than this"? Yes, it does. When in about 20 years you hold in your arms your first "Great" grand child you will experience Love on a new plateau. Hunter is a "keeper". We'll see him soon.
