Spoken From the Heart

We were there the night Jonathan was born. I held him in my arms and kissed him on the forehead. I said a little silent prayer----God, please don't let him be killed or wounded in some damn war we don't intend to win---There is a little bit of me out there on that football field. The willingness to work hard, the willingness to follow the rules and the ability to take a hit and get up and give it another GO! Our grandson is a senior this year. This was his last football game. In a couple of months he'll be eighteen years old. He will do just like the rest of us, he'll be out to make a life of his own.

I love you, Jonathan!
Grandpa Joe

PS: I sure had a lot more hair 17+ years ago!

Beautiful, Joe! Thanks for thinking us worthy of sharing that. Just like my Tiff said on your Facebook picture: "Oh my gosh you guys are the absolute best!!"
 
Thanks for sharing that Joe. Here's a prayer to refresh your prayer.

Wishing him a bright and safe future.

Thanks for sharing that Joe! The hair may not be quite as thick as 17+ years ago, but the heart and head are still in fine shape.
 
It is that wonderful attitude that endears you to all the C-Brats. You two are the best. Love that letter!

Best wishes,
Jim & Joan
