Felix you have a right to walk 10 feet tall. And the picture is so cute too. Children grow fast, that if we turn around too often they will definitely surprise us. This poem reminds me of Bobby Goldsboro's song "Watching Scottie Grow" only in reverse. :P Thanx for sharing, and you have a right to be a right proud Poppy. :P

May the Lord Jesus Bless you, and those that you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Fee,

You aren't ten feet tall...et all. You are sky high and your genes look beautiful in your offspring. These prescious moments are footprints of a legacy that you give to the future and you did one heck of a fine job.
I love this Fee...absolutely.

Your southern friend...
Love,
Susan

I can relate to this. Seems like only yesterday when we brought our little girl home from the hospital and now she will graduate high school next spring. To you and all your readers, cherish every day that you have with them. You wrote it like it is in real life. We turn our back and the next thing we know it is almost a life time later. Very good.

Dear Felix,

I know the joy of being a father yet I have yet to understand what it means to be a grandfather. I can only imagine how wonderful that must be. What a cute picture!

Love & Light,
Joseph

It's times like these, that you know that all the trials of rearing children are well and truly worth it. One look a face covered in scraping off the bowl is enough to melt your heart.
Precious memories to be etched into the mind for life, bravo my friend, wonderful write.

Oh Fee! You've captured such wonderful and bittersweet moments in this poem. How true it is -- I've had those same things happen, it seems. And the older I get, the faster time seems to go. Thank you so much for putting into words what we all go through. The photo is perfect ... what a beautiful child.
Love,
CJ
