Skilled photographers impress me with their ability to
capture moments and convey emotions.
Recently my daughter in law emailed pictures taken
Thanksgiving by her friend who then introduced my late son’s photograph into
the picture. Took me aback for a moment. So appropriate, that he is still
watching over them from the other side.
She has two children from a previous relations ship and he
had two. Together they had another son.
Soon after they became a family her
children asked me what they should call me.
“You can call me whatever you want”, was my reply.
“Can we call you Grandpa?”
“Sure can”, was my response, with a big grin. Been Grandpa
every since.
Admiration for my daughter in law is off the charts. The way
she has dealt with the loss of her husband, and kept on keeping on, vindicates
my son’s good sense in marring her. I say this even though she refers to me as,
“Grumpy Old Bastard”.
Yep, she isn’t easily fooled!

Good for her, and do try to stay in their lives.
What Old NFO said!
To the extent of time and distance, I'll be there. In between there is email, cell phones and internet.
You'll bless their lives.
And they will bless yours.
That's a wonderful situation.
Thank you.
Huh....got dusty in here.....
Likewise when I opened that email.
Grandpa is good, I'm not there yet but like the idea!
Always puts a smile in my face.
They are an amazing family & I couldn't be prouder of them. One does NOT cross that Mama Bear if they are smart.
Most certainly I'm not that brave!
