3 months

How is it possible? It's been 3 months. How can that be... 3 months since my Princess Emma Faye Griffith was born. It just seems like weeks ago that I was waiting for the call...boy or girl? I'll never forget that phone call from Briana...it's a girl! Yet, it doesn't seem that long ago when her mother told me she was on the way. How can 21 yrs seem so short? And the day we found out she was a "she"! How could I be so lucky? I love my new grandsons, Ethan and Jaiden with all my heart. They are my little buddies, and I'm so lucky to have them in my life. But, while they are, in my mind little princes...beautiful little boys...Emma is my princess. Because of my raising...mother was the one who raised me, and the fact that I had two big sisters, who everyone loved....of course I love the fact that my one and only was a girl...and that her first was a girl. But, I guess, that's the way it should have been. That's why the Stevie Wonder song is so fitting for me... it describes so perfectly how I felt that night my baby was born, and how I felt the first time I held that little Princess Emma. 3 months ago.

I can hardly wait for the first day that I get to take the boys fishing. I know that's a "dad" thing, and I know Jeff will do fine...but I was taught by the best, and I can't wait to teach them what my dad taught me. And the day they are old enough for me to start showing them how to throw a baseball...the right way. Another "dad" thing...but I know a little something about it myself. When to throw the two seam fastball, the four seam fastball, or the curve. Or, of course...how to throw a screwball...the best "out" pitch ever! Or how to hit any of them! Or better yet...how to play the field. Oh gosh...how great that will be!

But more than that...I look forward to the day that I can teach them how to take care of their little sister...how beautiful and precious girls are.

Has it already been 3 months? How can that be? Soon she will be crawling...then walking...then talking. That's when I'll be in real trouble! Oh what a great day it will be when she can finally call me Bud! G-Paw Bud! I remember telling Briana, when she was 7 yrs old, to stop growing up. Now, I'm looking forward to the day that I can tell that to my little Princess! I know, like her mom, she won't...but it's such a great thing to look forward to!!!!
