A new chapter in our "Family Book of Life"

March 15, 2007


Our phone rang earlier than usual on this Friday morning.  The voice on the other end was our son, Tim, saying that our grandson was about to make his entrance into our world.   Shortly after noon, our first grandchild, Grayson Ray Brooks, appeared and was the most beautiful and precious baby we had ever seen.  



And just like all other Grandparents had told us, holding that baby was unlike it was with our own children.  It's a different kind of love that you feel.  You quickly realize that the mistakes  you made as a parent with your own children, can be rectified through this child.  You want to change the world, make it a better place. After all, when our children were small, we didn't have time to make a difference.  Holding Grayson, I felt my body squeezing out of my clothes like that of the hulk, my Super Grandma cape emerged, and I was ready to leap the tallest building and stop a speeding bullet for Grayson.

Psalm 139:16~You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe.  Every day was recorded in your book.
