Pre-Loved

Lucas, this past weekend, we celebrated the life of your great-grandmother. You see, your dad had a different kind of childhood. Most people have a mommy and daddy raising them but your dad was raised by your great-grandmother. Sadly, she went to meet the Lord a week and a half ago. She meant a lot to your dad. She was the one that took care of him before your dad could even speak. She took care of him all the way until he finished college. Your dad was happy that she was able to meet you and hold you. It brought her great joy to hold one of her great-grandchildren. Lucas, you need to know that the love that you experience from your dad is an extension of the love that he experienced growing up. A lot of what he learned about loving you was given to him by your great-grandmother. As you grow older, you will be visiting her with daddy. Whenever you ask your daddy who it is you are visiting, I will say, "the one who taught me how to love you."
