Ode to Leah Beth

What can I say? Today has been pivotal. I've gone from the status of parent to grandparent.

It's so wonderfully awesome. There is a new human that is alive that is one quarter me.

I say now, I cannot wait to meet this person.

Welcome Leah Elizabeth Ayers. I can only imagine your potential as a human. I think you will be kind. I think you will notice humankind going by in all its peculiarity. Some of us are responsible for stewardship and I pass this task to you granddaughter.

Happy New Year and welcome to Planet Earth!
