Khong Is Here! (I'm A Certified Grandpa Now!)

I am about to celebrate my 51st birthday in a few days!  I must be real old now. Daisy will always be 1 year, 1 month and 1 week younger than me!  To decorate such an achievement into advancing years, the Lord has blessed us with our very first and at the moment, one-and-only, grandson.  Timothy Joseph Valdez II, whom we fondly call Khong, was born on May 15, 2014 to our eldest son TJ and Maean our daughter in law.  It just sucks that we do not get to hold and hug him until towards the end of September but we are thankful to the Lord that both baby and his Mom are healthy.
On the humorous side, I find it amusing that people say Khong is cute and looks like his grandpa (that's me).  Well, when all our 3 sons were just newly born, perhaps over a hundred times, people were saying; "Oh he's so cute he looks like his daddy!  If these boys were cute and all looked like Daddy, then how come nobody ever told me I am cute too!
