What is that old song about love being lovelier the second time around?
Isn't it great that grandchildren arrive just as we're slowing down? Isn't it great that as we age, we finally have the good sense to appreciate the truly special moments in our lives? This whole New Zealand adventure has been a very special moment...getting to know a grandson who lives on the other side of the world. I love watching his face light up when we come to the door. I smile when he says, "No, Nana do it," as he directs my activities in his busy life. Mark grins when Mr. Curiosity inquires, "What's Ohpa doing?"
I really wish that we could share him with you, but his mother doesn't want him wandering around in cyber space. Lord knows, he gets into enough trouble in his own backyard. Unfortunately, we are not so very different from others in the animal kingdom who must constantly be on the lookout to protect their young from hungry predators.
