I recently met my grandson, my first and only grandchild. Every parent (including myself, many years ago) thinks their baby is the cutest, the most intelligent and most talented baby ever. Grandparents think that too. I have re-joined those ranks.
It’s been a long time since I held my own babies. It came almost as a surprise when I first held Kellen and felt my heart immediately go to him.
Suddenly I loved him. Suddenly, I loved him so much I would trade my life to protect him. It’s been a long time since I loved someone new.
