VIOLET'S FIRST LAUGH
Violet, our great-granddaughter, experienced a special moment the other day
(I’m sure she won’t mind if I speak on her behalf)
What made this day so special…It was the moment of her first laugh.
Although Deborah and I were not there to hear in person…the moment of her laughter….
through the magic of technology…we were heard her laugh…a little while after.
We’ve been blessed to witness many milestones with our children and grandchildren…
as together we’ve enjoyed life’s ride
and witnessing Violet’s first laugh, just like all the others, filled our hearts with pride.
And so it all begins again Violet…on another roller coaster ride we go…
ready to watch your milestones…your discoveries…your achievements
as every day you grow.
We might not be in the front seat of the roller coaster with you…
on any particular day…
but there’s no need to worry…we won’t be far away.
Well be right behind you with smiles on our faces and our arms unfurled
like we were the day you added your laughter to the world.
