Baby Boy
Today is one of those wonderful days, our son and his wife just gave birth to a healthy little boy. I never cease to be amazed at the miracle of life and how we have such a huge affect on each other. There is so much power in the love of a little baby and how much our lives are changed because of them. I love my grandchildren and I love telling them stories, both fun stories and family stories. I have this deep desire to help form a bridge from my grandchildren to my ancestors. I want them to know and love them as I do. I know that it will help them if they learn their stories. My commitment to my posterity is that I will leave them a legacy that will connect them to their ancestors. This is the best gift that I can give them.
