Two weeks ago, quite unexpectedly, our 17 year old grandson, whom we had not seen since he was a baby, showed up at our door. His mom had moved out of town with him and we did not know how to contact them.
He had never met any of our side of the family. He kept bugging his mom until she finally decided it was time to fill him in. I just wish she would have done that sooner so he could have known his dad, my Bobby. And could have attended his sister, Jessica's, wedding.
We went to his high school graduation last week and he is leaving today to go to college for Aviation Technology. We are so proud of him and so happy that he came to see us. I know his dad, would be proud also.
He was raised an only child and wanted to know if he had brothers and sisters. He was very happy when he finally met up with all of them at my grandaughters house. Night before last, he spent the night with us and we had a bbq to celebrate my daughters birthday and he got to meet lots of cousins and both my daughters. We had a wonderful time. He is really a great kid, or I should say, young man.
Adam is my Bobby's oldest son, and he has a lot of his dad's traits. At times he would say something and it would sound just like something his dad would have said. And, he really has a lot in commom with his new-found brother, B.J., and sisters, Jessica and Brittaney. He even went to the cemetary and took flowers to his dad's grave. My grandaughter told him all about my parents (his great-grandparents) and brother who are buried close to Bobby.
His mom said his feet still have not touched the ground since he contacted us.
