Here is hoping that my grandson gets to someday live in a world marked by peace and justice for all! It is going to take a lot of hard work to get there, but that won't keep me from trying to make it happen.
I love you, my grandson! Here's to you!

It kinda sucks that we let all this shit happen on our watch, huh.
What I mean is us ole hippies were going to change the world and did for a time but somewhere we got complacent and lost our way or it sure seems that way to me as I look back on things
I started off being Papa but somewhere along the way its been shortened to simply Pa. I don't mind as long she remembers who I am

Worms are so COOL Grandpa! The first snowman, first swimming lesson, sleeping outside in the back yard...fishing...everything in the world is so beautiful through the eyes of a child.

(423 posts)Becoming a grandparent for the first time changed my life (for the better) even more than becoming a parent for the first time.
It's a clean slate. The child knows nothing about you, other than how kind and loving you are to him or her. It's like a personal rebirth, a re-definition of who and what you are.
