7. Hey NNNOLHI, congratulations

to you and the parents. Enjoy being a grandpa and remember that it is perfectly OK to shed a quiet tear of joy the first time he looks at you and says, 'Grandpa, could you tell me a story?', or something like that. Enjoy it!

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.

[papau]

17. Good to have you in the Club! -- and with such a fine grandson!

:-)

remember that after you instruct/advise the young man, and tell the parents what for and how to raise him, you get to go to sleep as the parents take care of him! These are the good years!

Great "grandpa movie" is Second hand Lions - but that may have to wait 5 years!

Congrats!

43. For the posters who thought I sounded too young to be a grandfather

I am 48 years old and I was 20 when the the mother of this baby (and who is my daughter) was born. Thanks again for the nice comments. I really did appreciate every one of them and read them to my daughter too.
