My Great Nephew

Small children if they are in your life can be such a joy - that is my great nephew Callum, a joy in my life.

It is wonderful to see a child put together sentences, thoughts and to ask, "what's that?" - their minds are inquisitive and a sponge at this age and you are their Hero.

Spend as much time as you can with that child, realize that you are an integral part of their life and they look at you for approval, risk taking, structure and boundaries.  They know that you will be there to pick them up should they fall and to give them a hug and kiss their boo-boo.

Realize the honor and responsibility that you have - hug and love that child and know that as they grow they carry a part of you in them.
