Grandson's first dance!

I sit here with mixed feeling tonight, as grandson has his first dance to go to with his new girlfriend. I am happy that he is going and sad that he is growing up so fast. I have to say that he was the only grandchild for 4 years and had all my attention. They only lived a few blocks from us and I had waited so long for this child. We have 6 grandchildren now, but he is the only boy. You have to understand that we have 3 sons so it was like having one of our sons hand back to me. I love all my grandchild for different reason and each has a special place in my heart. But Gregory is the first and only grandson.
I used to take him to school everyday the first year and one of the rules as I call them was that I couldn't let anyone on the play grounds see me give him a kiss and hugs before he went in to school. So I work out a way to do it and no one knew...lol.. and he was happy about it. Just a little thing in life that made us both happy at the time.
Last year we got to watch as he walk from 8th grade to the high school at the grauation and I have to say it was a very moving moment. To see the little boy turn into a young man and have some many chance in his life the past year. I love you more then you could ever know Gregory! I hope that you have a wonderful time tonight and get that kiss at the end of the dance. Our little boy has become a young man!

Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. - Anonymous
