Dad saluted his great granddaughter Maia on skype
That was memorable  for me
Dad was a military man
A Brigadier General
They saluted him and not the other way around.

But to his 5 year old granddaughter 
He wheeled himself in front of the computer
And saluted her.

What a wonderful moment!
I'll never ever forget that moment....

Maia turns nine today
Apple of my eye
I've said a thousand times
And at 2:30 I'll pick you up from school
Then take you to your gymnastics class
And then home where a surprise party awaits you.
Oh, how I'd like to see your face surprised!

How time flies
And I hope in the years I have left
Your Lolo will enjoy being with you
Laughing, surprising, playing,
Biking, eating and just having fun....

Maia swims well, how time flies,
She's now nine,
Oh, the many poems I wrote about her...
When she was born,
When she was two,
When she was five,
Oh, my wonderful granddaughter,
The apple of my eye,

She wears her swimming goggles
And races with me,
She always wins,
She swims back stroke
As fast as fish swim.

Reminiscing these moments with her,
In our outdoor pool,
This beautiful summer of sun and warmth....
