Default Grandad

My Grandchild was born this morning at 05:30. My Daughter had a home birth with my oldest Daughter, a nurse assisting. She is my second grandchild .... My parents passed away last year and I still want to tell them, I guess they know.

I think they do,, but it is still very difficult when you have a very happy moment and want to share it and they are not there. I miss them so much, but life goes on and new life is born.

There was a time, I was putting a winter cover on my boat. My Mother had passed away that morning. I said or posted a few things to some people here and I do apologize..............

My Mom passed last year and I talk to her everyday still, had the baby shower the other day and as my daughter wa opening the gifts I had my shirt sleeve pulled up, cause I have a portrait of my mom tattooed on my arm, and let her watch all!

Hell dude, I cry at certain movies, and there were tears of joy on my face when my grandkids were born and there were tears of sadness on my face when my parents died... My point being that anyone that says men don't cry doesn't really understand what being a man is all about. Being a man means that you work throught the pain and you just keep going, but it never meant that you couldn't get emotional about things. You just have to put things in their proper place.

Look at MJ for an example. He cried when his mom passed not long ago, but if you look at what he's gone through and what he's going through right now with his health and his wifes health.... hell, he''s more of a man that most people I know and more than I could ever hope to be. Same goes with Spare and all the problems he's had with his daughter Kendall. God alone knows how he kept going... I know I certainly couldn't have. And again, he's more man that I could hope to be. But my point is that you can be emotional about things and still be a hard a$$... that's really the secret of being a man. I think you're doing fine.... (And congrats on the second grandchild)
