My grandson's name is Jay he dawdles here and there he's zigging-zagging every day exploring everywhere He runs in front of people they sometimes get quite cross once he even climbed a steeple to see the view from the top He interested in lots of things and when we go out shopping he looks at pets, car-parks and rings it's walking between stopping In the mall, hide and seek is the game we play he wanders off to take a peek I search for him all day I shepherd him everywhere to minimize the trauma but people often stop and stare at my origin of the former I may look like a drunk or lout but I'm not drinking, stalking although I stagger round about I'm only Jay walking Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is sooooooo cute, sweet friend! (giggles) I too love to walk and explore new places and I can't help but turn all around me and stop to see everything sometimes, even if it can get me in trouble! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a delight to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Keth darling sister of my soul and keeper of my heart’s song, you know I love this fabulous poetic ramble through your eyes of walking with Jay. I utterly adore this, so incredibly visual, such a unique and wonderful view of talking a walk through town with a small whirlwind in tow. Do I love this darling heart? YES! You know I do    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

What a delightful read! *S* My little nephew loves to "run away" from me... but he's always looking back over his shoulder to make sure I'm following. *S* I enjoyed this much, Kethry. |

Really really cute one, Keth... It reminds me of my son Victor when he was a young child. One time he tried to fly because he actually thought that if he tried hard enough...he could. He ended up in the emergency room with stitches under his lower lip....luckily thats all he ended up with. He still has the scar to this day...23 years later. I have a new grandson named Jay...but he's only 5 months old. A bit too young to wander off and get into trouble yet. Thanks for sharing it with us. copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Auntie Kethp my favourite aunt I was looking for this one mum said she’d asked you to repost it an quite rightly too. It’s sooooooo well written, as mum would say utterly utterly divine I’m spending way too much time with her I think. Mum says that this was just how Paul and I were She’s not telling the truth I was an angel, Minnie, short for me nanny, told me so Really this is an excellent piece of writing and so very very descriptive. You paint a word picture well, very well. You did a good job and thank you from both mum and me for putting this back on the front page   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Mistletoe, It's nice to see you are still a child at heart. Marsha, well whirlwind comes close to describing him...but curiousity personified comes closer. Startime, Aren't all grandchildren like this...that's one reason why we love them, another is that we get to hand them back...sick from all the junk food we've fed them. suthern, nephews and grandchildren come in the same basket as far as I'm concerned, both gorgeous - both exhausting. Lyra, just wait he will Krissy, as you would know, I am putty in your mother's hands...besides it got her to stop talking for three minutes NCC, I love the expression cold fusion powered batteries. thanks for telling me about your 2nd cousin jwesley, If you can remember you are too young to have grandchildren...so accept my sympathy. Magnus, my heart goes out to you...I often find myself grinning and exasperated all in one breath. Deer, you are so eloquent! The numbers are in order of preference. 7 not quite 1 and likely to be only 118, I number all my poems once they're posted. ? which is why you have the comment at the top. and 20,736 because it's such a gross square rooted number Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Well now...Lisa waited to give a grandchild until she was 20 (just turned 21 yesterday matter-of-fact) and I'm 58, so really it just has to be chalked up to I was really intuned to my kid's growing up. Afterall...they were the only ones I'd have and I wanted to remember all I could...and this was, after all else is stripped away...a really neat aspect. Loved it this read too, my friend. jwesley |
