Mar. 2, 2005 This morning, actually yesterday now, my daughter called on the way back from the doctor's office. She told me a little over a month ago she was going to have a baby. So she went to have a check up and they did an unofficial sonagram. She said, over the phone: "Dad what would you say if I told you you were going to be a Grandpa to twins?" Once I quit dancing on the ceiling and could get some of the smile off my face I told her I thought it was great. Leave it to her to get a 241 deal(that's two for one for those of you in...yes I'll say it, Rio Linda)please note neither Rush, nor anyone else got a copyright on that(that I know of). Okay, I realize it's a lot to think about for a gorgeous single guy like me, but I figure what the heck even big Hollywood stars have grandkids. I know they couldn't be as cute as I'm sure these will be so it's okay. Anyhow now I'm calling my mother to tell her she is going to have two great grandkids. I call my uncle Charlie, my sister in law in Florida, I go out to where my daughter and I work and tell them out there, I go to the local Denny's where I know almost everybody and tell them, I'm telling people I know at WalMart while I'm looking at baby stuff. My sister in law tells me I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I say yeah, not since the plant I worked at closed. Now she and I both know I was ready to get out of there and I have been much happier since. Therefore she understood how happy I was and am. Her oldest daughter just had her second baby so it looks like this family is having a mini population explosion. My niece's baby and these twins will have built in play mates and that is nice, too. Now I have my medical problems. However, as I told my sister in law(my late wife's sister)this is the best medicine I could want. I have this going on to look foreward to and I want to make sure I do what I have to to be here awhile. I know everything's in God's hands so I guess I feel He's giving me this to say:"Hey, look, you're gonna get through this and here two grandbabies to look foreward to and love." I'd still like to have all the prayers I can get. This time it's not just for me...I've got a big job coming up. I'm gonna have two grandkids now to spoil rotten. If that isn't enough to keep me going I don't know what is.
