Ode to Michael

This is my sweet oldest grandson Michael Curtis Chapman.
He is eating his favorite breakfast, pancakes and bacon.

This child is so grateful and cheerful; he inspires me.
His living situation is not the greatest but you'd never know it.
He is excited by EVERYTHING! Seeing his cousins. The Christmas tree on the top of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Building in Columbia. Harry Potter movie on television. Seeing his aunts Beverly and Pattie at the Cantata at his church.

And his prayers will melt your heart. "Dear God, please help Mama and Daddy sing well in the Cantata and have a good weekend while we're here at Nana's."

What other ten year old prays for his parents to sing well and have a good weekend?

Thank you Lord for this special boy who has given me joy every minute of his life. Please protect him and never let him lose his enthusiasm and innocence.

Nana
