Happy Birthday TR... what a day that was 4 years ago! and today... your birthday comes with a hurricane!

Happy birthday my precious first grandson....
what a day that was 4 years ago on a
Sunday night at 10:28...7lb8oz, 20 1/2"... PERFECT~
We were so ready for you to get here.
KG would no longer be the only one.
Now there were 2!
The entire hall at the hospital was full of folks waiting to see your sweet face!
And then,
when we did...
we saw your DAD!!!
a perfect sweet reflection of a very special guy...
We were so happy to get to hold you!

One thing we all noticed,

besides the fact that you were so much like your daddy,

you had the longest toes and the biggest hands.... I knew that must mean that you would always have solid footing and a firm grasp in this world on all that is truly important!

.... and you know what... sure enough, you do!

Your strong sense of justice is one of the most distinctive things about you, and I LOVE IT!

Today, my precious one, you are 4 years old, and just like hurricane Ike that is about to hit our coast and bring who knows what with it.... you slammed into my heart and brought all kinds of wonderful things with your arrival. I thank God for you TR... You have a place in me that is yours alone! HAPPY HAPPY Birthday.... no telling what you'll build with all those tools and work bench.. and the trampoline... what fun will that be? I pray safety over every moment of your life! You are FUN! PoppT and Tahtee cherish you!!!!!!!
