    Just became gramps for the second time yesterday. Just hope I can ever be able to achieve the same level of greatness that my grandparents set for my memories. Hard to believe how much the little ones soften this old hillbilly. Being grandparents I do think is even better than parents in my case as I have had a chance to mellow and learned how to enjoy life at a slower pace.

    Congrats! I'm sure you're a good pawpaw.....my parents are AWESOME grandparents to my kids, like a second mom and dad. Sometimes I think the kids would rather be over at their house than ours!! They spoil 'em and then send 'em back here!!

    Well congratulations for sure. Best part about the job is you can enjoy heck out of them and then send them home when they are all played out.
