First off, I know it’s sappy….I don’t care….it’s how I feel..
I have never had a baby….OK, I know that as a man, I “can’t” have a baby, but what I mean is this. Jimmy and Marie where 6 and 4 when I married Glenna, so I missed all of the baby stuff. The pooping, the teething, the terrible 2’s, etc… And on one hand that was sorta cool…..Glenna couldn’t have anymore kids and I knew that, and I was cool with that. I mean I have 2 great kids who love me, so what more could I need…(and in case anyone is wondering, I may not be their biological father, but make no mistake, they are my kids….)
So seeing Jaymisen being born…..I didn’t know what I would feel, I mean I knew I would feel love…but as I like to say “I don’t know nothing bout birthing no babies!”….well….as I drove home tonight….I just started balling, crying like a little kid….(I’m tearing up just writing this) I was just so overcome with joy and happiness…I didn’t want to leave the hospital, only one person could stay and Marie wanted mom….I tried not to take it personal
But I just want to hold him and love on him and give him kisses. I want to take him fishing, I want to play catch, I want to make silly movies with him….I love him so much…..he is just……so beautiful to me…I wish my grandpa was still alive, I just want to show him off to everyone.
I am sure this is how other grandparents feel….but it’s new to me…and I apologize in advance to Jaymisen and you all out there, cause you are going to see him quite a bit….I can’t wait for his first Halloween…..I wonder what he will go as?……….
Ipod, Iphone, Zune and just about anything else

Congratulations Heath. He is beautiful and he will make a great batman on Halloween. All the best to you and your family.
Ah, special indeed. And oh so beautiful. Welcome to the big world Jaymisen Konner (fabulous name). And congratulations to Heath and Glenna – grandparents extraordinaire!
Congratulations! Jim and I are both very happy that you are able to experience this incredible love.
Brilliant news Heath!
It’s now nearly 12 years since my first child was born and I still remember the incredible euphoria of realizing that this is a whole new human being who simply did not exist before.
You have given me hope that I might get to experience that again as a grandparent some day!
[...] Well today was Jaymisen’s first Birthday party. It was just some close friends and family and we all are having a really good time. I can’t believe it’s been a year already it just seems like yesterday Marie gave birth to the little guy and I made this video. [...]
