I am now a granddad

As of last night. I met my new darling granddaughter today in DC. Please acknowledge my newly elevated cultural status and treat me with appropriate respect going forward.

Also, would you like a Werther’s toffee? I have a pocketful.
Congrats.....the wife has 5. The 4yo and 2yo are exceptionally cool and I am a big hit with them.

PS: The soft Wether's are the best, not the hard ones.
 
We are back to visit for a week. It’s amazing how much she changed in just three weeks since we were here. In her looks, her observant nature, etc. 😊❤️
Man, the stories I could tell. Savor every moment. Understand that no matter how good you were at being a Dad, you are staring at the best time of your life. It just hits different. All parents make mistakes. Being a grandparent is our opportunity to correct those mistakes. We handle situations different. We are more patient, as we understand that this whole new person is and always will be their own person. Teaching kids while learning how at the same time is different from guiding them with the experience and wisdom gained from our past trials.

Soak it up with pride, my friend.
