I know I will let Ace do a lot of things that most people would probably question, but Grandpa will probably let him do anything... :) @TDub: I just like writing the name TDub. :) Thanks for the comment! @Honeybell: Yeah…I’m kind of afraid of the things that Ace and Grandpa will be doing.

My dad was never around when I was a kid (or as an adult for that matter) and I always wonder what it is like to grow up with a male figure in the house. I'm glad your pops got to finally enjoy holding your little man and that the two of them have bonded. Its good to hear about other men who actually WANT to be in a child's life, but then again most people reading your blog are like that anyway. I liked this post alot, Jared.

My dad died when I was 26, well before my marriage/parenting days. He too, was a farmer, and would have had my boys out in the goat pen and on the back of a horse before they could walk I'm sure! In no time Ace will be begging Grandpa to show him those pigs! I really enjoyed reading this. My dad died when I was 26, well before my marriage/parenting days.

That would have been intense. Great story and I totally relate. Dads (grandads that is) can take our kids or it can be a disaster. Glad to hear yours had a breakthrough...sounds like he deserved it.

I hope all works out for you. @BusyDad: 90 Minutes? Holy cow... I don't know what I wil do when my Dad passes... @Jen: I'll try that. Thanks! @XBox: Ya, my wife keeps telling me (joking I think) that my parents aren't looking forward to me coming down to see them anymore. They just want to see Ace. I hope that is not true! :) @Janice: Sorry to hear you and your Dad are not getting along. I hope all works out for you.

And I bet it’s only going to get better. Before long, Ace will be tugging at your pants starting Thu night going “can we go to grandpa’s? can we go to grandpa’s? can we go? can we go?” I lost my dad to cancer before he got to meet my son. Marcus was 18 months old when it happened, but my dad worked overseas. When he got sick, we flew over, but missed him by only 90 minutes. One of the deepest blows of my life. But grandma loves him more than enough for both of them. That’s gotta be an amazing feeling. And I bet it’s only going to get better.
