And along came our two grandsons, who brought such joy into our lives. We have watched them grow from their birth to adulthood, and they are still bonded close in our hearts. Photo below.

How wonderful it was to see the love and trust in their eyes, and to love them and hold them when they were happy or when they cried.. Rapture is to romp on the floor and play with little boys.

We reminisce about how little boys love to play in the mud, get skinned knees, climb in the trees like little monkeys, stand on their heads, and pull the pigtails of every little girl that they could catch. (smile)

Ah sweet memories! We watched them skate, have snowball fights, catch fireflies, play hopscotch, run races, and best of all, we watched with delight and cheered at their baseball games

How proud we were when they made good grades, won spelling bees, had many  friends and brought them home for snacks and fun, or to play games. We smiled as little girls came into their lives.

We loved to watch them participate in various sports such as golf, soccer, basketball, and baseball. Our son and grandsons all played Little League baseball and our memories recall the home runs, but never the strikeouts.

As we reminisce in our golden years, we think of our grandsons, in this day and age, ending every visit with a hug and a "I love you," grandsons who say Mr. and Maam when addressing adults and openly show love.

Our family is closely bonded and it is not considered "sissy" for the men and women to express love with hugs and kisses.  We see clearly an outstanding son and two fine grandsons that emulate their fathers.

We are truly blessed.
