Life is full of joy! Really, it is great when you don't have to suffer the pain, but you can share in the joy. Such is the situation with being a grandparent - WOW! Miles Bennett and Finn Elijah were born on March 31 in mid-afternoon - 6lbs, 2oz and 4lbs, 13oz. What a wonderful mother to endure the waiting abed for so long and the birth of these boys. Big brother Naaman is pleased (so far) with having two brothers. Wonder what the response will be in two years? Mother and boys are doing well and Dad is "busting his buttons". Joy unspeakable! Great-grandmother, Mema, was a twin and always hoped to see grandchildren or great-grandchildren twins. She missed these, but would have been surprised and happy at who is the parent of these twins. There is something rather magical about this kind of miracle. Grandpa and I are grateful and thankful for the safe arrival of Finn and Miles. Granddaddy Newton always told me the only way to pay for your raising is to raise one of your own. Now our son gets to deal with a family ¾ the size of the one we raised. We will always be praying for guidance for him and his wife. Here goes a great adventure!
