You'll love grandfatherhood! It does make you much more aware of what happens now and how it will affect the world your grandchild will live in. Enjoy the journey! And before you know it, that little child will be producing a great-grandchild for you......just like two of mine will do in a few weeks! Live IS good.

Congratulations are in order.

My grand-daughter is thirteen months old now, and is a barrel of fun. Her parents are so lucky as she is the sweetest, happiest little kid and so much fun.

enjoy it I couldn't understand all the gushing/preoccupation by my grandparent friends UNTIL my son had a son 2 years ago. Now I'm just as preoccupied/gushing as my friends. It is magic.
