After Alexander’s U-turn back to WakeMed, Gramps decided he couldn’t wait any longer to see his newest grandson and made a quick trip to North Carolina for his first look at the boy.

I think it’s safe to say he was pretty impressed but then it’s hard not to be when you’re as cute as Alexander is! (Not that we’re biased about that or anything…)

But as important as it was for him to see Alexander, his trip had a second purpose and that was to let two parents under stresses that no one should really have to deal with know that we’re not alone in that dark night. And sometimes that really makes the difference when it comes to dealing with such a situation. We know we’re not alone and we’re incredibly thankful for that…be it God or family or friends… any good thoughts are greatly appreciated and make those lonely nights a lot less lonely!
