I Am G-Pops...Part 1

From my personal journal:   My grandson makes me laugh more than any other reason because he is so much like my boys and specifically his Dad . He has an amazing spirit. He is filled with wonder, strength, curiosity, and love. He has a strong will and will not be deterred. He has compassion and never accepts anyone around him being hurt, sad, or in some way not seeming happy. Amazingly intelligent, stunningly handsome, a gentle soul, and everything I would like to be as a grown man. He is a miracle. His mother and father went through it, just like I and my son's mother did with him. The end was worth all that had to be done. His mom, and my new daughter, agree... He is a miracle. He is Bentley. He is my grandson. He is still a boy. He is also the best grandson one could ask for. (And yes, I AM biased, wanna fight?) That is why he will *always* be my B-Boy. Subscribe here as well...

I Am G-Pops...Part 2

From my personal journal My granddaughter brings me a sigh of relief.  First, because she was not named Schlotsky, as my son always said growing up.  That is another story for another day... Maybe...      Keep in mind, I knew my son's name would be Matthew before I had a driver license! Instead, he and my new daughter, Lakelyn, carried my and Matthew's middle name to the third generation. Ezra Rain. It was a relief... As we have all experienced those latter rains when the day needs some cooling off, but no one wants to get drenched. That easy rainfall; It refreshes and lifts the spirits and you usually don't expect it when it comes. It brings a smile when you get caught in it. Maybe even a quiet laugh. Sometimes, it can take your breath and make you sigh as you wonder whether you will need an umbrella. She is beautiful. She makes you fall in love or at least remember what it is like to. She is ahead of her time. She is a miracle. She *is* my EZ-R
