There's another grandchild on the way and only a few weeks to go before we meet him. It is a boy so we are told but it is a given that we don't care the sex just the health of this new addition to our clan. What will he look like and whose nature will he closely resemble? He will have his own little identity right from the start. He may be very quiet and introspective resembling some in the family, or quite the social animal as are others of our particular brand.
Whatever, I just yearn to hold him close and smell that particular baby smell and whisper sweet nothings in his ear. To gently rock and sing to him, and let him know his Grandmother loves him.
To protect him from all manner of things (because yes, I am a worry wart).
He will be much loved by his parents, his big brother and aunts and uncles. There will be a special love from his grandparents because they of all realise just how much they rely on their grandchildren to carry on the flag of their existence through to the next age.
