Default Finally, some GREAT news in my life!

My son called today and I'm FINALLY gonna be a Grandpa!

But he made me promise not to let anyone know that he told me until this weekend when they come up for Mother's Day when his wife wants to tell the whole family together. I'm so happy that I can hardly keep it to myself!

You may have "posted" it here on the forum, but you didn't "tell" anyone. He did actually say not to "tell" anyone, right....

Congratulations and hope the kids have a healthy baby!!!

Congrats Jerry!! My Grandson will be 2 in June, so far only one, but I'm trying to get him interested in cars, too young right now to tell though. He is a great source of joy to my wife and I even though this is my second wife and she's not a blood relative everyone gets along really well.

May this will be the silver lining to the cloud that seems to be following you.......

Good luck my friend........

Congratulations, you'll love/like them better than your own kids. Should have had the grand kids before your own children. LOL

I've got 13 grandchildren and love most of them. The oldest graduates from high school next week. They grow up fast so ENJOY them!

Congratulations. Your secret is safe with us. Nothing like the feel of being a grandparent, my grandson is 7 months old now and my stepdaughter is due in July and apparently my sons fiancée is expecting, but don't know when she is due.

Default Grand kids

I have four. The're great. The oldest just got a baseball scholarship to George Washington. He's a great kid and one hell of a ballplayer. Congrats on your first. Jon

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
