On the 4th of July this year (our wedding anniversary), Tony and I received a gift so precious, we were dumbfounded.
Our only grandson, Adrian (a playful, active, funny, talkative, loud, and curious little boy the last time we saw him five years ago), appeared before our eyes. But in form and substance, a totally different human!
Now all of 17, he has evolved into a compleat gentleman: reserved, handsome (very!), with a well-built bod and a bass voice that can be heard only when he responds to questions.
I actually blogged about him, based on his mom’s photos emailed to us three years back. At that time, there were hints that the once-little-boy is now only in our memory bank, which defies time.
Adrian reminds us that grace is never the same, but always generous. The Creator designed our lives to come in seasons. Life stage is the term psychologists use. My term, very old--the season where Tony and I are basking in today.
We met this new gentleman in a party thrown by his other set of grandparents, whose wedding anniversary date is the same as ours.
We thank God for the season that was. Is. Will come.
