I never thought much about being a grandfather until about six months ago when I found out that my son and his wife are pregnant. According to the sonogram, it is a girl. She will be joining us in early October, and my overwhelming feelings about this prospect have taken me completely by surprise. Imagining my relationship and the desire to interact with her have filled me with joy and loving anticipation.
Today we got our first monsoon showers and as you can see, it is showing off. My walks among the trees, grasses, rocks, and critters is a magical way of washing off the challenges of the day.
