Gratitude # 15

4 months ago today has got to be one of the most gratifying days of my life..First of all there is nothing more wonderful than having children or grandkids but to have the pleasure to see a child being born is the most incredible miracle ever and I am so grateful to my daughter Tess and Andrew for letting me be involved in Garrett's birth..words can not describe the feeling I felt that day...when ever I think about it it brings tears of joy to my eyes...

There is nothing better than when they hand the baby into your arms for the first time. With each of my kids I kept saying to myself, you're not going to cry, you're not going to cry. Forget about it. I was babbling like an idiot. I'm happy you got to share this day.
