My Grandson Nathan

Yesterday was my Grandson Nathan's 11th birthday. We had him and his family in for a birthday dinner and a wonderful cake with 11 glowing candles. Nathan is such a great kid that I just burst with pride every time I think about him. He is thoughtful, polite, sensitive, caring, and helpful. He is not only willing to help, but is often asking how he can help even more. He is smart and has a great sense of humour, not having much trouble at all catching onto jokes or knowing when something is said in jest. He is self assured and has confidence. This was demonstrated recently when he announced with great excitement that he had been asked to play the lead part in the big musical drama production at our church. This is a bid deal because the kid's choir is more that 100 strong and the productions that they put on are very well attended and looked forward to by the whole congregation of around 2500 people. It has been such a great pleasure watching Nathan grow and mature and now that he is on the brink of adolescence, we have a feeling that his good nature and quality of character will help him over the humps and bumps of puberty. He takes care of and cares deeply for his baby brother Liam, and this is an indication that he will make an excellent father one day. Happy Birthday Nathan and know that we love you with all our hearts.
