My grandmother was one of the very first people to find out we were pregnant. I had called my dad to share the news and Dad passed along the information. She was so happy. The next day, Kate got engaged and Dad was able to share that wonderful news with her too. Two days later and the day before she passed away, we went to visit her. While everyone was out of the room, I held her hand and told her our baby names. She was the first and the only one to know his name for those first few months. That day seems so long ago now. I think about her every day when I look at the painting above our fireplace she painted back in the 70s and smile.
Pat and I have been so blessed to have wonderful grandparents, and parents. We are so glad that Lennon will have such loving people to support him through lifes ups and downs. We are also so happy he will know two sets of his great-grandparents. That's pretty amazing these days!
Much Love,
