Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Today is our oldest grandson's birthday. He's turning six. Tomorrow the family is driving to Traintown to celebrate. I Facetimed with him when he was in the car after being picked up by his dad from kindergarten. He had on his crown birthday hat and was clearly thrilled. He's not a little boy anymore. He's getting gangly and his face is not a round baby face. How surprised we were when we were out to dinner with my cousin and his parents and my daughter-in-law handed me a card, and inside was an ultrasound of him. He was in profile and had the turned up nose of his mother1 We were so thrilled because they had been married over fifteen years and didn't seem interested in having a child. He's been the sunshine in their lives and a joy to us ever since. Our granddaughter is seven years older, and now she has four bungly boy cousins: 6, 4, 2, and 1. It's like having a basket of kittens. Andway, happy birthday to a dear fellow whom we love dearly.
