I have great news that came my way when I was in Costa Rica. I became a grandpa! Jewyl Grace Dreier was born Monday, June 14th. The proud parents are my son, Jeremy, and his wife, Issy.
My question is what is a grandpa? I looked it up in the Webster dictionary. A grandpa is defined as "the father of one’s father or mother." People tell me how exciting it is to be a grandpa. When I look at the definition of a grandpa in the Webster dictionary that does not excite me.
What is exciting about being a grandpa? Does it simply mean that I am an old geezer? I do not feel any older but I do need glasses now to read. Am I living in denial? I certainly do not need anymore children to parent.
What does a grandpa do? How should a grandpa act? Is it supposed to be fun? Do I start acting like a kid again? Do I pull out my wallet every time I see the grandbaby and give it anything it wants? Does a grandpa have rules? Can a grandpa get into trouble? I mean what kind of trouble could a grandpa get into?!
Is there anyone out there who can give me advice or counsel me? I welcome your comments.
