My kids don't want their lives broadcast to the world so personal stuff doesn't usually get here.<br /><br />I did go to your blog and see that you've been in Thailand now for over a year. I'm not sure how many of my Thai posts you read after the elephant, but I have a real love for Thailand too and am glad you are starting to get out of your compound to explore the enchanting land of the Thais. I hope you get to make some good Thai friends too - they are wonderful people and they love children.

Wow, such a beautiful piece to read.<br /><br />I am new to your blog - I was googling "Thai Elephants with bike lights" of all things, and found myself here.<br /><br />I read this entry expecting it to be written by a parent... a mother. I felt emotional reading it, thinking of how in love I am with my own children.<br /><br />I did not grow up with a male figure. Although I am married to a wonderful man and am in my 40's with growing babies of my own, I still equate this type of emotion as maternal. <br /><br />To read at the end that you are the grandfather of this tiny little baby makes me think that she is very blessed indeed, as is her mother.<br /><br />I am sorry if this comment is a little cheesy and embarrassing...feel free to delete it, I just wanted to say that your post and the obvious love you have for your grandchild really warmed my heart and bought tears to my eyes.<br /><br />I also know that one day my husband is going to be a wonderful grandfather and I can't wait to see that.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-43396527890527273302013-02-03T10:00:34.735-09:002013-02-03T10:00:34.735-09:00Thanks to both of you - Jacob and WakeUp.Thanks to both of you - Jacob and WakeUp.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498066938213558757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-71900667120222126412013-02-03T07:50:35.870-09:002013-02-03T07:50:35.870-09:00Grandpa's girl!

It is artistry in joy.<br /><br />Good on you and your granddaughter for each holding a gift of promise. May you each find your lives a shining light to each other.
