At 9:27 p.m. Sept. 27, I was promoted from grandma status to that of great-grandma! Receiving his first bold-face mention on the pages of the local newspaper is Bennett Lane Snider, the most beautiful brown-haired baby ever born. GiGi Kerri is smitten with this little one, in case two sentences in, it’s not obvious.
What a unique experience to spend 12 hours in the maternity waiting area with my oldest daughter, Alyssa, while she awaited the birth of a grandchild, her son, Matthew’s, firstborn. We all practiced patience while Matthew’s wife, Morgan, did the “heavy lifting.” Life’s full-circle moments are so sweet.
