Awwww... What heart-warming reflections, Poppa Vince. Blessings on you, Gage and Brady. There's nothing more life-affirming than the pure, sweet innocence of a child and their expressions of love, is there? I'm delighted. Thank *you* for sharing such golden moments.
Now I'm romancing like-yesterday memories of my enchantment with the sway of my own beloved granddaddy, back when I wore a youngster's clothes. I'm taking a moment to say a sincere prayer of thanks for him, my charmed life, and all the beautiful people I have known. I count you all, my wondrous Joni-listmates, among them you know. Now get out of here, before I love you too much... :-) -Julius np: Indigo Girls, live at Slim's SF. "Moment of Forgiveness" > And why do I tell few Brady stories? > Because I so seldom get him.
