Joyful Doug and I have fallen in love again. We are both in love with our tiny granddaughter who has left us breathless with wonder. We were warned, but skeptical as many of you described the wellspring of emotion that the birth of a grandchild creates. You were right on the money. I call it the "throw-myself-in-front-of-the-train" kind of love I feel for this child, just as I have for my own children. It is truly amazing to me how this type of attachment develops after spending a week with her. After all, she does squirm, yell, fuss, and celebrates bodily functions with wild abandon with no regard for time of day or need for sleep. Yet we all sit around the kitchen table, paying very little attention to what we are eating, each of us with our heads turned to watch her sweet face. Joyful, joyful, we adore her.
