Hey buddy!!!! The only thing you have to remember is keep that little finger out and crooked!!! No matter how old they get they will still grab it when things get tough for them and dad can still reel them in to his lap. You are lucky to have them and enjoy every moment with them. I had three girls and one boy and God decided he needed my two middle daughters more than I and took them to him at 41 and 43. I still have their kids (spoiled rotten) and memorys. The ones left are about to yank that little finger off and I love it. Looking forward to meeting you and Jett this summer sometime. Lee.:bigbye:

Ain't that the truth! And Calvin, as a Fort Hays State grad I highly recommend it!

I struggled with being a "Sad ol' Dad" for a time but soon discovered I'm a Happy ol' Grampy four times over.

Lee, we share a bond we both wish didn't exist: I lost my "little boy" two years ago this July, at age 33. My heart is broken and I suspect it always will be. But I have his little girl, Grace Hadley Yearout, age 7, more like him every day. His light shines through her, and makes going forward worth while. Peace to you.

When my son left for college ten years ago I more closely identified with this old joke:

Do you know why God made little kids so loveable?
So you would take care of them.

Do you know why God made teenagers so obnoxious?
So you wouldn't cry when they moved out.:bigbye:

Best,

Mike

To Phil and Lee and all of us who have lost a child, March 8th marked nine years since my dear son Robert passed to the hands of God. A good friend gave me this verse which has always helped set my mind at ease.


Those we have truly loved,
We will always love,
And that which was deeply felt,
We will always feel.
Remember, death can take all things save one,
Love remains,
For love alone is real.


Dave
