Proud Bumpa

I've had the pleasure of being Bumpa to my four grandchildren and the privelage of spending a lot of time with them. In their own individual ways they all have made me proud. Sometimes by their talents and activities but more often by their character and humanity. Marsha and I treasured every moment we had together with them through the years. It was not that all of them were pleasant, but they all showed us their character and personalities. Forrest now a senior and once agin playing football is the baby of the group but he's no baby. Marsha would have been thrilled to see him playing football. We came up from MA on day trips just to see him practice when he was younger. She once flew to Milwaukee, WI, rented a car, drove completely across the state of Wisconsin to La Crosse to see Laura stage manage her first college play, to get back in the car the next morning and retrace the trip. So many big and little things come to mind as I share time with my grandadults. I'm so happy and proud they are in my life, and I think, if it's heaven for Marsha, she can still smile at all their lives and be the proud grandma she always has been.

Now Forrest hit some one!!!
