Happy to announce that as of 12:15 am CST today I became a great grandfather for the first time!
Mother and son are fine. Father is a little shaky.

Congratulations! I was lucky enough to have meaningful time with a great-grandmother. My child has no living great grandparents, so pass on all the wisdom you can and enjoy it.

Markā¦ congratulations.
Give the new great grandbaby something special to remember you by.
In 1962ā¦ I was 1 year old and my great grandfather gave me a 1953 series, red serial #, red sealā¦ 2 dollar billā¦ it is in a little frame and has a note from him to me. At that point he was called Daddy Dave.
I have that 2 dollar bill on the wall in my home officeā¦ and will be passing that on to one of my kids.

Congratulations! Tell your Son to just relax and enjoy the āblurā the next 20+ years will be- heāll have the rest of his life afterwards to catalog it all in his mind. My Father used to occasionally āapologizeā to us kids with the phrase āyou didnāt come with an ownerās manualā, but good character, a sound upbringing, and a good sense of humor will usually suffice. My own child is now 29, and I feel like sheās older than I am!
