Max is 3


Remember when you were amazed at how fast time flew and your kids grew up almost overnight? Well time goes even faster with your grandchildren. It is unbelievable to me that my little buddy Max is 3 already. How can I possibly bottle up all the sweet innocence and special "silent" connection that we have when our eyes meet. How much longer will he snuggle and say, "You like me Mimi? - I like you" and how sweet when with all of his 3 year bravado he looks out for me and growls at anyone he thinks isn't being nice to Mimi, or might make the mistake of sitting in my chair lol. Watching his brother growing up I know that time is so precious and short where we will be special and of extreme importance in their lives - the time before friends. hobbies and even girls take our place. So I will treasure this time and use whatever influence I have to train them to be strong, God-fearing young men who are gentle and merciful and kind to others. Who know how to stand up for their beliefs and make a difference in the lives of those around them.
