Something wonderful happened to my Stepnephew and his girlfriend.
They had a baby girl and they named her Madeline.
It's truly wonderful when a baby is brought into the world.
Will and his girlfriend are very happy and they treasure their girl.
I hope that I'm there when Madeline begins to walk.
I hope she calls me Uncle Randy when she learns how to talk.
She's a special baby and all who see her will be impressed.
It's a fact of life that Will and his girlfriend are truly blessed.
(Dedicated to Madeline Robinson who was born on October 17, 2013.)
