Salute To My Honorable Grandson

You are King of the Hill!
A full eight years done with teachers in a private school!
You are not foul-mouthed nor spoiled.
Everyone you meet, thinks the world of you, nobody recoils!


You are not going to an ordinary high school,  
Where you have to apologize for being white nor step down
academically, too.


Nor will you study the destruction 
of the American flag or be taught new, faux, history.
Nor is your sex a mystery, you know you are, a boy, to which I
I am ever grateful, there is no mystery!


An immense star in Little League you proved to be!
Not only for the a ball you throw at 80 miles per hour, we see.
But your amicability and friendships with many,as welcome as 
fresh, Spring flowers be.


You will be no moron, Grandson, in a nutty high school.
But one of the best and brightest!
Why? 
You only honor and play by God's rules.
The Bible, being your life's tool!


I miss that little boy I once held in my arms.
That's the blessing of being a Nana, who still feels your warmth..
The most blessed~experiencing her grandsons's Linfinite charms.


With all my respect and love, dearest Edward!
Nana Pangie


~Thank you for coming into my life~

Tom,Thanks for the special greeting you sent earlier. He will see this after his last class, Last night he attended baseball camp at his new school. Followed by a game. He will do well, he’s so goal oriented, his friends are first class citizens. Pangie..xx beaming... from ear to ear!

Pangie, with your love and encouragement, Eddie will reach for the stars. We need 10 million more kids like him with his great education and outlook on life and this nation will be in good hands. Biden and his mob are trying everything they can to instill raciest BS and undo the freedoms we enjoy into our school systems. God help this nation. I know you are mighty proud of him - Bob H

Bob, I know he will. Kids are being lied to just to promote a far left agenda. See d. Imagine me, going to the Middle East and telling them to change al, their laws for me! I think they are all cracked.if you don't like America, get out, I don't want to live under Sharia law or a demented monarch, self appointed. Where is America! Asleep? Kids I taught were never this nutty. And we're from al, countries. Racist? Not America. Pangie xx
