My grandfather died October 14, 1992.
My second son was born October 14, 1996.
My grandfather did not live long enough to meet any of his great grandchildren. Just being in an enclosed area with his children and grandchildren caused him to turn his hearing aids down. I know that my household would elicit the same response from him
.
But if he and Jesse had been able to find a quiet space to chat, I think they would have found some common interests. Most notably, teaching and ministry.
Today, I have another adult living under my roof.
I no longer have to accompany him to medical appointments. I don't have to co-sign or sign his documents.
Like his older brother before him, this young man is ready for adulthood. He has proven himself well.
I look forward to the next chapter in our relationship.
Happy birthday, Jesse!
