Default This is how I know my daughter really loves me.

I really wanted to share soom good news with this forum.

I haven't been posting much lately. I've been busy with a lot of custom order and trying to get the Nike Hercules kits finished.

The "other" thing that has been taking up a lot of mine and my wife's time was the birth of our first Grandaughter Emily Katherine.

I was so busy I never got a chance to post this, to me, wonderful little thing that happened.

My wife son-on-law and I had been waiting in the LDR (Labor Delivery Room) at my daughter's hospital for a good number of hours after they gave my daughter drugs to induce labor...nothing was happening...

My daughter was misserable, pain, impatience, hormones surging laughing, crying the whole thing! She had enough and she just wasn't getting any closer to delivery time.

Suddenly as these thing happen the fetal monitor alarm started. The baby was in trouble.

The doctor came in and decided...we are going to do a C-Section.

My daughter's spirits suddenly lifted, she saw an end to this ordeal!

As they were wheeling out of the LDR and to surgery she grabs the doctor's arm and says, "Fix your stupid systems and light this candle!"

Honest...I didn't coach her on that! My daughter really knows how to make me feel good!

Being a grandpa is one of the best things in this world.
