I have to say as odd as the thought of being a "grandmother" has felt for the last nine months I have to say....It feels great, right and good. I loved sitting and snuggling Will and that little life was a miracle and stirred love within me I didn't know existed.
As I think of our time with our son and his family there is one moment that really stands out in my mind.....
As my son was waiting to be called in for Will's delivery I was standing in the hall with him, we had one of those conversations about life and new life and fear and joy, I will remember it always. He was standing at a pivotal moment in his life one that would change him forever and I feel so blessed to have been a part of that moment in time.
As Eric left me to be with his wife and welcome his son I knew he would never be the same......the next time I saw him was when he walked out the door holding his son, at that moment as I looked on my son's face he was different to me...the "boy" who left me behind now looked like a man.
I saw my son change before me eyes...I knew as I watched him over the days before and after Will's birth that he was ready for this life that he was a good husband and would be a great father..what more could I ever had wanted him to be.
