Five years ago the love affair started. Like all affairs they start innocently enough and continue to be life changing. This affair is different. It was encouraged and supported by my soulmate. She was totally in favour of it and glad it happened and continues to happen.
May 30, 2017 changed my life. On this day Kelsey and Oliver came to visit. I was at work when they arrived, Shelley kept me up to date with
second play by play. I couldn’t wait for the day to be done. It was hard to concentrate on work knowing that I was being picked up from work by my wife, daughter and grandson.
I would be seeing my grandson for the third time ever. I was so excited I could barely focus on finishing the day. Finally 4pm came and they were waiting out front for me. I got in the backseat looked over at my grandson and he was fast asleep. I guess he wasn’t as excited to see me as I was him. Boy I had a lot to learn about being a Grandparent.
That night after a great dinner we were back home hanging out. I was in the reclining chair and along comes Oliver crawling to in front of me. He stretches out his tiny arms and I pull him up onto my chest. We cuddle and he falls asleep on my chest.
I thought I had died and gone to heaven. What a joyous moment. It was at that moment that the love affair started. We bonded and became best buds.
He is now six and hearing the magic words Grampa I love you. I will not get tired of hearing those words. Ollie you are becoming a great little boy. So full of live and love. You have blessed me in ways you will never know yet understand.
Whenever I am in your presence all my concerns, issues go away. My mental health is strong and I feel like I can do anything and deal with anything thrown at me. My love for you is eternal. It has been a great ride which will continue. Until we meet again.
Love Grampa
