Marvelous news!  Every new baby gives us so much hope and makes you believe in unconditional love.   Grandpas can be a great influence on grandsons.  He is going to want to be like you and he will admire you.   Enjoy, have a great time.  What a wonderful time in life.   :2thumbsup;

Ooooooooh...a newly harvested grandpunkin!!!  Oh, you must be on the top of the world.  I can't imagine anything more wonderful!!!  I would love nothing more than a squishy grandpunkin to play with!!  I am so thrilled for you!!  THIS is why you must keep just putting one foot in front of the other; you and your grandson will have so much to share with each other.  He's going to need you, so you must be there for him for years to come.  We make sacrifices all the time for our families; you coping with life's crud is a sacrifice worth making.  Congratulations!

Absolutely beautiful!  He seems much more than 3 mins old!  Grandpa, that is what we are living for.  One dialysis nurse always reminds me that the day I started dialysis, I told her, I have to live for my grandson.  He was 2 at the time.  Now he is 8 and I now have a 1-yr old as well.  This is why we are here!
