    I'm a granddad

    What a feeling! Now I know what it's like. I heard about it, especially the " just wait, it will change everything" and the " You wont believe how great it is" comments, but there is nothing else like it. I am thankful I got to see this day. Just wanted to share my joy.

    Congratulations !! Like the old saying goes " If I'd have known how much fun grandkids are, I'd have had them first!"

    The dead don't know they are dead. It only affects those around them.

    Unfortunately my wife and I never had kids but I know all about spoiling the nieces and nephews as well as the great nieces and nephews. Also getting them the most loud and hence most fun toys for birthdays and Christmas.

    Congrats flydoc!! Yep, being a grandpa is great. My oldest son and oldest daughter both called on the same day to tell me I was going to be G'pa....so we got two almost at the same time. I'm happy for you. BTW, what did you get & what's the name?

    Love being a grandfather, too. To my grandkids, I'm just another playmate, only bigger. Congrats, you will definitely enjoy it.

    Congrats, it really is something. About two more weeks and I'm a great grandpa. I can't understand how that's possible, I'm just a kid myself.

    Congratulations! Enjoy every minute with them as they grow up overnight. The one thing I want to be remembered by my six grandchildren is that their Papa spend time with them.

    Just wait! It gets better every single day! The first time they call you "grandpa" your heart may actually explode,,,,,,,,(also expect your eyes to become watery at really odd times. ALOT.)
