I got to feed her yesterday. Her mother will be breast feeding her ASAP.

Showed up 4 weekes early and a surprise to many but it is all good.

I am now fairly certain that the greatest measure of success is happy grandchildren. That is when you know you have done well the most important job of all.

Congratulations in so many ways.

I know just how you are feeling right now. My first grandkid, a granddaughter, was born 7 months ago. Roxanne Louise. I had forgotten how fast it goes. She wants to stand and crawl already!

My favorite part is I don't have to make sure they eat stuff they don't want to eat (vegetables) and I can spoil them rotten. I loved being a mom but being a grandparent is that on speed. Lucky you!

It's a great feeling, isn't it? Holding that little girl in your arms is almost as good as holding your children when they're born. The love just washes down over you like standing under a waterfall. You've started a new chapter in your life's story, and it's a great read.

I hope mother and baby are both doing fine. Now you have someone else to worry about, and dote on. It's wonderful. Congratulations, Grandpa!

Hope you don't mind if we all borrow your good news for a while. (We get so little of it these days.)

Just vicariously feeling your granddaughter in our arms--there's just nothing else like it. It feels like...hope.
