Beautiful Mike.. I have my own 'army' of young cousins, and I had befriended one certain Tua (she is the cousin of one of my cousins! !) , and many many more little ones... Ah, how tiring it can be and yet how much fun we all have... Kids are a blessing.. Confession: I love kids a lot mostly because Uncle Souren can be just like them when he is around them.. Otherwise no one would approve of me making stupid faces around.. : -)
I wouldn't trade them for the world. Nothing is so precious, so integrally heartfelt as there well being. To see them in such states of enjoyment, like when we blow bubbles or jump on a trampoline; there is no greater happiness. Love is not an expressive enough word to describe how I feel for them
At Xmas a few years ago I put a present under the tree for my favourite grand-daughter from grampa Wes All three of them grabbed it and opened it together. Three chocolate Santa Clauses of course. (3,5,8)
Lucky little girls they surely are to have such an imaginative (and chocolate distributing) figure in their life
