still learning

My son Dan, his wife Camille, and my grandson Eric are with us in Sandwich for two weeks.  Eric (two months) has a cold and it is amazing how it makes a grandparent feel to see their little loved one under the weather.  Life is full of emotional peeks and valleys and a sick little boy is an incredibly deep valley.  The silver lining is observing how wonderful Camille and Dan are at parenting.  It must be love that makes them good parents for their is no other way to go about becoming one.  Think only of the welfare of the child and things work out best.  What a great lesson for grandfather to learn.
