Kids

Few experiences in life if any can match the feeling of parenthood that moment when my prioritys changed forever, no longer could I  be selfish or self centered. Periodically bundles arrived that I cared for more than I  cared  for myself.  The moment you hear the first scream until .....well there is no until it goes on forever. from the early nervy learning days while you get to know each other through  the dreaded toddler years they make you laugh and cry in uneven proportion with laughter far exceeding tears. sleepless nights (thankfully I didnt breast feed my wife did). through teenage years when you lay in bed waiting to hear the door knowing they have returned safely from wherever there hormones took then. Just when I thought I  was getting the hang of it a new challenge appeared in my life The GRANDSON. this I wasnt prepared for but thankfully was better equipped to deal with. From the  moment I laid eyes on him my life has not been the same unlike a lot of grandparents we see our little terror most days in fact he is such a part of our lives that it is difficult to miss a day. His smiling face, his energy. his eagerness to imitate and learn. his unconditional love. Then we have his moods his demands for attention his claim to the remote control. all these thing and more go towards making him the little man that he is. WhyI have written this piece I'm not sure does it have a point I'm not sure I just wanted to say it.
