Hannah Lucille was born on October 7th, 2008, and is the most beautiful thing I've seen of late. So now I am a grandfather. If I didn't feel just a little bit old before, you can bet that I certainly do now.
Not that I feel OLD. Just older. When your children start to have children I guess you know that life is progressing toward that inevitable last day. Prior to that, you can sort of put that thought out of your head and pretend it doesn't pertain to you, only everyone else, LOL. But holding that little girl in my hands it is very evident that my own child, who is now a man, has grown past the point of needing my input into how to get to this point.
My son and my daughter-in-law have presented me with a gift. A grandchild. A blessing beyond measure. While not having been the best father in the world, it is like getting a second chance in my son's life. Maybe by being a good grandfather, I can make up for some of my shortcomings in the past as a father.
At least, I can surely hope so.
