Twenty-three years ago now we were awaiting the birth of a new baby. In those days, we did not know if we would be getting a grandson or a granddaughter. We would welcome either. On August 12, 1984, we got to see that new baby, examine him and hold him. Yes, he was a little (?) boy---almost a 10 pound little boy, perfect in every way. He was a very welcome addition to his family. He had 2 older sisters who were willing to give him plenty attention and spoiling.
Watching him grow has been very interesting to say the least. God gave him a brilliant mind but he choose to use only a portion of it during those early years. He could have been a straight "A" student but decided doing his home work just wasn't worth the effort at times. Eventually more brain cells did become active and he has developed into a fine young man with much potential. He bas been employed at Super Center since he turned 16. Recently he has been promoted to being Assistant Manager of a Super Center store in South Arkansas. He will be moving there in a few weeks.
We shall miss Devin on Holland Hill. He and his brother, Jaron, have been my computer supporters. I have told them if they ever leave, I will have to go with them. Neither have said, "GREAT!!!". I am afraid I am going to be on my own soon but I am very thankful for the many times and ways they have walked me through problems I have sometimes created and for the things they have taught me.
Sunday will be Devin's 23rd birthday. I will be fixing a special dinner for him. I want to post a picture of him (if I can find it) that is very typical of his days as Support Manager of Tire and Lube at Super Center in Nixa. He has made us proud in many ways. (Can't find the picture. Will post it later.)
In case you haven't figured it out, I am his Grandmother and love him very much,
Dortha
