Just a few words for Derek, Megan, and the little "Charmer"



Good morning to all, I know it has been few and far between posting my blog but after tomorrow...the good Lord willing, I will be back in action. I have loved the last 15 days with my daughter, the experience of watching her bring another of God's baby spirits into the world has been one that will forever hold a huge bit of my heart. I have loved watching her learn do's and dont's with the little man each day and have learned that even though I call her my baby that she is a grown and capable young woman. She is so filled with love for Chalmers, she is nurturing and so very happy. 25 years ago when I gave birth to her I envisioned the day that she would be grown, that she would be a mommy and that she would feel the very love that I feel for her, my prayer has been answered and I know that this baby is a very blessed one to have her and Derek as his parents. This passed week I have had opportunity to sit back and watch the two of them with the baby, I have openly cried at the fact that they are so filled with love for one another and that they simply adore their child. What an amazing feeling as a parent to be allowed to see such unconditional love. 

To Derek, I have loved you since the first day I met you, the care and love you give my daughter is a wonderful thing to see. I have known from the beginning that God joined you to one another and that as long as you respect and care about each other that you will have a lifetime of joy and happiness. In seeing you with Megan while she labored I knew that my job here is basically done, I can sit back and enjoy her knowing that you will protect her, will love her, will tend to her needs and will be all that I have prayed for each day of her life. Thank you sweet man for continuing on with what I have done for 25 years. May God's blessings be upon you each day and may you always feel loved and supported. I have watched you this week with Chalmers and know that you will be an outstanding father, I know that you "get it" what being a parent is all about. I am here for you always and am only a call away if you have questions or concerns. Thank you for loving my kiddos and for being the man I have asked God to send to Megan. Much love to you now and for always! 

To Megan, you will never know how much the last 15 days have meant to me, allowing me to see you with the baby, allowing me to share this special time with you both. I have watched you become a mommy and have secretly watched to see if you needed help and I am so happy to say that you "get it" Megan you will never make me prouder to be your mom than you have this last week, your labor was harder than many I have heard of and you battled through courageously,  you never once let the pain take away from the prize and you have been "Joan of Arc" since delivering...once upon a time you deemed me your "Joan of Arc" well honey I am pleased to say that you are now mine! I love how you love Chalmers and can say without doubt in my mind that you will be a wonderful mommy. I am always only a phone call or a plane ride away sweet girl! It will be very difficult for me to catch that plane tomorrow, not because I think you need me but because I will miss out on so much. I am so thankful that you have such a wonderful support network here in Kansas and know that there is no problem that might arise that you cannot get through. Just keep doing what you have done all week and you will be fine. Chalmers is so blessed to have you and Derek for his parents! Great things are on the horizon for you. I love you Megan and again cannot express the love I feel for you in mere words, now you finally know how I have felt for the last 25 years in having you as my child. Enjoy each moment my love...May God  bless you with the joy you feel this very moment for the rest of your life! 

For Chalmers, my sweet little "Charmer" you have taken your MiMi's heart and hold it in the palm of your hands, you are amazing, you are beautifully handsome, you are smart and you are my grandson! How much more could I ask for in life. Chalmers, God has blessed you abundantly and you are but a week old, know that you were born of love. Your MiMi will not be here on a daily basis but you will be in my heart each and every moment of each and every day. May God bless you with health and love always! I love you little man and will be here for you always!
