I don't recall ever anticipating an event with as much excitement as I do the coming birth of my Grandson, Thor, The Magnificant. Like "Auntie Mame," I'll show him the world, teach him to sing and dance, how to throw a ball, catch a ball, kick a ball, hit a ball, dodge a ball, and literally "be the ball" just like Chevy Chase.
We will be storm chasers, constellation counters, and weather predictors. We will plant flowers and tomatoes together. "We'll sing in the sunshine, laugh in the rain."
He will be exactly who he is, a child of the Universe with the right to be here. He will understand the value of his civil rights and the meaning of true freedom. He will be loved, adored, cherished, and treasured just as he is. I will never change him, but I have a feeling that he, The Great Thor, will change me.
I'm already in love.
