Grandpa Note--Day 3 In Hospital: What Is It?

What is it?

What is it about holding your grandson for the very first time?

When Milo was being handled in the hospital nursery, the nurses were swinging him around like a dishrag! No problem: he was swung and passed from hand to hand and he didn't mind.

The next day I was offered the opportunity to pick him up. Just as I was about to clutch him to my chest the lactation nurse came in to get him. I had to wait another day: no problem, right?

Today I held Milo for the first time. How fine he felt and smelled as he burped his milk! In order to fully appreciate the experience you must be of a certain age and disposition. At 67, I must be there.

As I held him I was smiling through potential tears of Joy.
