Steve, 

All I can do is smile when I looked at the picture of you with your grandson (well, a few tears too at the beauty of all you say) and the beautiful song - I think I have heard it before from a dear friend who is a Cantor. 

Bless you and your family, 

Blair

So, I edited the first post out, with apologies that no one could open the picture..

I continue to be entranced by this young man...

He gives me the balance I need...

I simply adore him...

He has changed so much in 7+ weeks....I especially love the fact that he really focuses on people now and smiles at them...My heart just melts when he does..

thanks for all your beautiful comments and good wishes,

Steve

p.s. my son came to the rescue and posted Ethan’s picture..

Steve, 

The picture made me smile - i love babies, have two sons of my own now 26 and 28. Rocking them always calmed me - that's what i need, a baby to rock! He is beautiful and i am so happy for you. Our older son is getting married in 3 weeks but i dare not suggest a baby for me to rock although they have been together for 4 years. Hug So, I will enjoy your joy.

Blair
