Happy Birthday, Papa Ronnie!
Our family LOVES Papa Ronnie. He is a true blessing to each one of us.
The day I met him he was on his Texas farm, wearing his cowboy hat, Wranglers and boots. He was so polite, so quick to get me everything I might want, he was a true gentleman.
But as soon as Ron and I had children, he took it to a new level. He played "Hide and Seek" with them around his house. He would crawl under beds, hide in closets, always helping the littlest one win the game. He was a child himself, and I've never seen someone have more fun with children.
Grandparents can be the safest, most delightful people in a child's life. That is who he is to my kids--my kids have several wonderful grandparents! Papa Ronnie brings out joy, laughter and playfulness in my kids. They associate him with some of the funnest times they have ever had--making milkshakes, riding on his back like a horse, playing pranks, watching silly movies, driving a car for the first time on back roads in the country. He is a true gift. I am so glad that they have him in their lives.
Congratulations on your new marriage! We are so excited about Jane!
