Emily

My son and his wife took a job in Delaware several years ago and after the job was over, they moved back to Michigan with their daughter Emily.

Emily and her mom Amy spent a lot of time together, as they were in a strange town and so when they returned, little Emily was quiet, soft-spoken, but talked like an adult (not in a bad way, just used to talking with adults). It was hard to get her to talk to you as we and she didn't know each other very well.

Time passed and little by little she started talking to me without being told to. She's such a sweet grand daughter. It's such a joy watching her grow up into being a young lady, playing piano, watching her get through school. I'm grateful for the love and care her parents have given to raising their 3 daughters.

This week Emily is 11. The years have passed quickly. We're looking forward to seeing how the Lord will work in her life.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Papa
