Miles Made It

We received a text from our son Ben early this morning indicating that his wife Melissa was going to bring a new child in the world.  We made it up to the hospital an hour away just in time to hear the little cries of our newest grandchild.  It was a poignant and wonderful time for us all.  Miles Benjamin Oman is the name that have picked out.  He was 7 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches in length with some fairly impressive hands.

I looked at my son look at his son and saw the tears slowly making their way down his cheeks.  I grabbed him shortly after and told him that he now knows how I felt when he was born.  He just couldn't stop smiling.   The mother is doing fine and we have high hopes for good health and much happiness for them all.

Although we may not reach the same number of grandchildren as many of you our friends, what we cannot reach in quantity we make up and surpass all the rest in quality.  Cheers to you all.
