You are only days away from joining us humans, and when you arrive I shall be a grandfather for the first time. Your mother is your grandmother's and my first child, and your father is the wonderful man she married. Just as I had to learn how to be a father to your mom, I will need to learn from you how to be the best grandpa I can be. I can take little to no credit for what a magnificent human being your mother is, but your life will be blessed by the fact that she is. You are so fortunate to be surrounded by the peace and love of all who are eagerly awaiting your arrival, me certainly not being the least of them. Your grandmother and I gave great thought to the proposition of bringing children into the world that we found ourselves in, and in many respects the world you are coming into is even more challenging. I thank God that I am going to be able to get acquainted with you right from the beginning, and that together we will discover what grandfathers and grandsons are all about.
P.S.
My money is on the Fourth of July, so don't let your grandpa down.
