This old man, myself this is I am talking about. I am very blessed to have forty beautiful grandkids. Of course, they all like their grandma Parker the best. Those of you that know her, can figure that one out easily. Grandma can be found playing games with them on their Ipads, board games, or in the backyard pitching the ball to Hudson and little Mason. How can the grandkids not love this special lady? We are all so fortunate to have her. I just wanted to thank her for always being there for the grandkids. She is probably like a lot of you grandmothers that read The Crossroads Journal. You are very special women here in the valley.
One Saturday Grandma Parker and I sat in our lawn chairs at Neptune Park. She and I were excited to see one grandson, Jordin pass two touchdown passes to another grandson Bucko. His real name is Carson. No, he's not a bully. When he was a baby Carson would push his head into our shoulders so his parents gave him the name Bucko. On another evening at Harvest Hill Park, we sat and watched little Teigan who is four years old playing soccer. Little Teigan really wanted to score a goal, but every time she got close a teammate would get in front of her and kick it in for a goal. This frustrated both Teigan and grandma. Grandma would voice her opinion to let Teigan kick the ball into the net.
She wanted her little Teigan to score the goal. Finally, the littlest and cutest girl on the field was kicking that ball down the field. The teammates backed off as grandma was shouting "let Teigan score." Need I say more? Little Teigan came running to the sideline. Grandma, Grandma, I got a goal. Both Grandma and Teigan were excited and at that accomplishment. (Notice who she ran to first) Yes, Grandma Parker, not Grandpa.
On one Sunday Grandma was so proud as she watched her grandson Trevin go about his calling in his church, she could hardly stand it. Yes, you grandmothers are proud of your grandchildren regardless if it's in sports, activities, dance, or music recitals and all performances and yes, doing their responsibilities to their church. Grandmothers keep on encouraging and being there for the kids. Let us all live the good life both with the grandchildren and their grandmas.
