Our grandson Nathan (the one who lived with us after his mom passed away from the time he was 2 until he was 9) started 9th grade this week, his freshman year in high school.
After he got home (he lives with his dad about an hour away), I called him to see how his first day had gone.
He assured me it went well, not much going on just yet.
The next day I called him again when he got home.
I told him, "You know of course, that I'm going to call you every afternoon of your entire freshman year, don't you?"
He replied, "I would expect nothing less."
We had a good laugh. That's my boy.

Thank you. It was taken on his last birthday when he turned 15.

That is such a nice photo of you both! =) I hope he has a wonderful year. It sounds like he definitely knows you love him to pieces.

There's a strong family resemblance between you and Nathan. Hope he enjoys his freshman year and has some exciting news when you call

Thanks. But like most teenagers, there's not always a lot of excitement to tell about.

It was never a burden, but a blessing. I had to pray for extra energy, but we wouldn't have had him with anyone else.

Aren't grandkids great? The ones we help raise are extra special, I love them all but my boy is 29 now but I had him from 5-15 and he is like one of my kids in some ways more than a grandkid.

I know exactly how you feel. I love all our grands, but Nathan and I have a special bond.
