Missing you already

Boy did that trip go quick or what!!! I've still got Moo-Moo's seat in the back of my car and don't want to take it out. I never really thought about becoming a granddad. It was nothing that I ever aspired to be. It gets thrust upon you by events and circumstances obviously beyond your control and I never gave it much thought. When Hester phoned me to tell me she was pregnant I was delighted. But more for her really than for me. I seemed a little inconsequential to the up-coming event. Then Elodie arrived!!! Chris phoned me!!! I was very manly and matter-of-fact, said congratulations and got off the phone as quick as I could because I was welling up with unexplained emotion. Now here she was this past week. Cute and smart and testy. Her Wayman genes telling her to trust no-one and don't be taken in by smarm or flattery. She's feisty alright. You better believe it. An individual in her own right forging her own future already with her signature identity. Bless her!! Bless Hester for creating her. Bless Chris for begetting her and Bless Maretas for endless patience. It was so lovely to have them here. I felt guilty that we didn't entertain them royally enough. Weather a bit against us and child-friendly stuff limited.
