CHAPTERONE

Mid-morning on September 11, 2009, my Grandson Charlie arrives into the world, weighing a healthy six-pound eight-ounces. Our faces are streaked with tears as they river themselves down our cheeks. My wife, my daughter and I are beside ourselves with contentment, peace, and joy to meet this wonderful gift of life. My wife and I stand around my daughter's bedside, looking down at her. My wife's hands caressing my daughter's forehead as she holds this bundle of joy close to her chest, smiling proudly, knowing she is a mother. My offspring had a rough go of it, being on bed rest the last couple of months of her pregnancy. All of us experience relief when Charlie is born. My name is Ben and from the instant holding this little breathing life in my arms, he becomes my best friend.

People say they witness love at first sight; that's true because I am in love the minute I see this little guy. Charlie is a good baby, eating and sleeping well, and never crying at night. Sue, my wife, and I keep him as much as possible as we love him being around. He spends the night often.

As Charlie grows, he smiles, frowns, and laughs when he hears familiar voices. He observes everything. The moment we turn on the television or music, that little boy looks towards it and smiles. He loves music. When the radio plays, he hums to the music with his baby sounds. Charlie tries his best to sing.

I have forgotten how hard and tiring it can be taking care of a little one. Just as we relax on the couch, he cries, and one of us has to get up and go check on this baby. Usually, we both get up and creep down the hall to spy in to see what he is doing. Many times, he is looking at the ceiling kicking his little legs all around, his blanket thrown to the corner of his crib.

Time zooms by, and Charlie can sit up on his own. Sue and I take so many pictures as we are proud of him. Even at this young age, he likes to come to Grandma and Grandpa's to spend time with us.

Soon enough, he crawls, getting into everything. This is when I have to childproof the house by covering the plugs and such. Perhaps a little overprotective as our place is like Fort Knox secured from any harm to our little grandbaby. Since the moment he crawls, showing autonomy, he doesn't like anyone holding him and will squirm his way loose, and off he crawls. I figure his character will be that of independence, freethinking, and curiosity.
