I Treasure These
Times with Grandkids
I did a “grandpa thing” last
night. What fun! I went to a movie with my grandson Clifford.
We went to the new “Wolverine” show.
As I sat in the dark theatre
beside this young man, now much taller than me and very strong, I did some
reflecting back to just a few years ago.
My first contact was just
after we rushed from Regina, Sask. by car to get to the hospital when he where
he was to enter this world. We thought
we could have made it and been there for his birth – but he decided to come a
little earlier. We were driving through
Minnesota when he made it known he was going to be arriving soon. As we went through Illinois and then over to
Michigan we called his Dad and Mom’s telephone number about every two
hours. His Dad called in a new updating message
every time something new was happening.
And then just as we were to leave Michigan and come into Ontario
Clifford made his grand entrance.
I cannot tell you how
excited I was to hear that my VERY FIRST GRANDCHILD had arrived. I couldn’t wait to get up to the hospital to
see him.
Clifford was HUGE! To hear his Mom tell it you would think she
had delivered a Baby Elephant! But at over
9 pounds and slightly under 10 – HE WAS BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER BABY IN THE
NURSERY.
The next time we came back
to Ontario he was more than walking. He was getting into everything he
could. I took him for a walk with a
harness on… strapped into a controlling harness I had the leash hooked to his
back. We were outside the restaurant and he climbed on everything that he could…
up the walkway, up on the cement rail, around the flower beds… and he kept
moving. What a powerful little boy. I
was so proud… I wanted to shout out to every person walking by, “This is my
Grandson Clifford – he is amazing!”
Last night I thought about
every contact and thing that I had done with Clifford over these years.
As we sat talking about this
past week he said something to my wife and me that was kind of earth moving… “I
had been thinking about buying motorcycle.
But after this accident this past Tuesday I know that I would have been
hurt very badly or maybe even dead… I am not going to get a motorcycle.”
I agreed heartily with his deduction.
Last night I sat beside a
Man. He is no longer little, no longer
young… he is a Man. I treasure these
times with my Grandsons – all 5 of them. Soon a beautiful young lady will enter
into to the mix and well… Grandpa-s will not likely get much of the young men’s
lives.
I treasure these times for
sure.
