Seven Years Ago

...I became a grandfather for the first time

Still remember the early phone call on that Saturday, Adam telling me that Heather was in labor. We were dressed, packed and in the car in no time at all, heading down I-35 to Round Rock. Luckily, we made it with time to spare and stood outside the birthing room with Heather's parents. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

When we heard the first cry, the tears streamed and a few minutes later, Adam burst out of the room with possibly the biggest smile I had ever seen on his face.

Aidan Kenneth Byrd, born November 2, 2002. He's #1, not in the sense of being the favorite but he was the first and as such will always have a special place in my heart. Happy Birthday, Aidan!

Blessings,
Ken
