Another Gift From The Top

Been on a real high with the baby , the Grand baby I should say with all of her cuteness and adorability? A word? I don't know or maybe even care too much but it really feels odd in a great way to call myself a grand parent these days, yet to hit 50 and feeling younger as a result. Trying real hard to be patient for this baby to move back to the area. Ty will be gone and his baby and the momma will be trying to find their way while Ty is doing his Army indoctrination and his eventual departure to his new duty station. Following his brother's footsteps and joining the ranks of the military, with jobs being difficult to come by and moving off to the sticks of Missouri with Mandy he has essentially put himself in a precarious position, with a baby in this world he must provide for his child and be the best father he can be. Asking a young boy to become a man before he is actually ready to do so is a tall order but I feel he has it in him, he has to for crissakes! As a new grand parent we look forward to the good times with lil Aubrey and cannot wait for our turn to hug and to hold this precious little baby girl. So we try to be patient and wait our turn with great anticipation and high hopes of the goodness that new life has brought us! A very good time for us all! At the Risk of going all Tebow on everybody, I thank God for a healthy baby girl, proud Grand parents are we ,Terria and I have been beside ourselves the past 5 days with joy and great happiness in our hearts with the little baby girl and our love that has grown exponentially over the past 2 years! Good Times for sure

Our Precious Little Aubrey

I can't even describe what it feels like to see this little girl in her infancy, what a beautiful child Ty and Mandy have brought into this world. REally looking forward to holding this baby and giving her the grandpa love and grandma love that Terria and I will surely give unconditionally. Welcome to the world little girl, you will be loved and adored and taught the right way to live if we have anything to contribute to your upbringing.  So much love to be given to this little girl, it may have changed our lives forever! THe man upstairs has blessed us with  a beautiful little grand baby girl.

Welcome Aubrey Simon, February 11,2012

Today Mandy and Ty brought us little Aubrey into this world, a very good day for us today and the only thing I can find wrong with this day is that she was born in Missouri and not at a local Hospital where we could have all enjoyed the beautiful new gift. So happy to be A grandfather as is Terria to become a Grandmother for the first time. Congrats Ty and Mandy look forward to spoiling the heck out of our new little girl!

My Temporary Apprehension

Tomorrow morning Terria will go in for knee surgery, bright and early Dr. O will have her as hos first patient and thats always a good thing in my eyes. A very simple procedure and aI assume he will find more debris in there than he bargained for and I truly hope he does to justify the reasons for the traumatic responses in her knee at times. As I always feel for any type of surgery , either for myself or a loved one or friend, I feel the apprehension and sense of helplessness of worry and of doubts at times. Then I reach out to know that family will be there for me and yes, the man upstairs has his plans for us all , I just can't imagine that Terria Isn't a big part of many people's future and she will do really well tomorrow.  Yet I think of the worst case scenarios and how I would I feel and react to the loss of my wonderful wife when we have fought so hard to get where we are and the future that we have planned together. Yeas, it is these doubts that let me know at times how far My faith an trust in both man and God to feel these doubts, is it normal thought processes or is it a sense of panic for the sake of panic and the worry wart in us all comes out. I know one thing for sure, that the pains that she feels in her knee will be gone tomorrow and she will then be able to get back to the gym with me, and back to the golf course and finish up her Golf endeavors with me so we can continue to grow together in many new and exciting areas in our lives.  Just wanted to share my concerns and have my little pity party for myself and have a bigger faith in God and in my Honey o get through tomorrow all well and on the mend in a quick hurry. I will be there with her to rehab and get back to normal, even better and stronger than before. So here's to faith in God, Dr O and my wonderful wife...Good times
