My son asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said the granddaughter he gave me was plenty. The look of joy on my wife’s face every time Poppy’s name is mentioned is the greatest gift I could ever imagine. God is so good.

I have been very depressed over the last year. This changes everything. I don’t know how to post a photo here so I posted a link to my Twitter page. My wife and I had given up on ever having grandchildren. But God rewards those with patience.

children are a blessing. Grandchildren are also a blessing. Good for you.

Very cute and stylish anti-depressant. Be careful, she looks addictive. Never mind, I know grandma and grandpa have already succumbed. (because how could you not?!) :)

I had no children, I had no wife, I had no grandkids, I had no life.

Just pray. I did. And God gave me exactly what I needed. And I was in a VERY low space.

Not to be confused with “The Big Guy “ I’m sure. My 3 grandkids call me “Opa”, German for grandfather.

There’s always another car coming around the bend. God will provide. 6 months ago I had a pistol in my mouth. Now I am optimistic as fk. Things change.

I look forward to retirement shortly. Wife and I have been going over to visit the grandkids most weekends, to give their parents a break.

I notice I have better conversations with the 6 year old than with the people I video conference with at work.

Find a good woman with grown children who are out of the house and little grandchildren, close enough to visit.

I had my Dad. Best human I’ve ever met.

He was always, always there for me.

God bless. Lost a parent to suicide. Glad you are still here.

For those left...if doesn’t create heart scars...it creates trenches.

Peace.
