It looks like I will become a grandfather this week-end. What a journey! I can’t believe I made it this far.
A grandfather.
It will be a ‘little’ boy coming into the world at eight and half pounds. His name will be Robert Allen Jackson named after my father.
I bet he looks just like my father, my son, and me.
I can’t wait to go fishing with him. Or watch him at hockey practice or watch him hit his first golf ball. Or watch him curl up and fall asleep with Perk and Tucker.
My son looked like the little boy Jonah in Sleepless in Seattle. I would guess my wife has seen this movie at least a thousand times. It even made my Top Ten list of chick flicks.
God, I feel old…a grandfather.
I feel almost certain my wife will be playing Sleepless in Seattle sometime in the next week to show me how much Robert looks like Jonah.
I wonder what would have happened to me if my wife hadn’t called me from Auburn on that first semester break.
It was destiny.
I’ll probably be watching chick flicks all week-end in between a couple of college football games.
Destiny is a funny thing.
This will be my second pick after I watch Serendipity. Serendipity and Four Weddings and a Funeral have for a long time been one and two on my all-time chick flick list.
Is it still raining? What an epic ending scene.
