Before Zach gets much older, I'd like to remind grandparents everywhere of their golden rule and establish our ground rules that we can reference, forever and ever. I know you're listening. So here goes: The only responsibility of a grandparent is to give unconditional love to their grandchild, no matter what. It sounds like the easiest job in the world, but for many, I'm sure, it's a hard role to transition in to. They find it far too easy to suggest how their grandchild should be instead of loving their grandchild for who they are.
You taught me all your bad habits. We get to teach the little fella all of ours and pay the price just like all the rest. That's just the way it works. You get to get together with all your friends and talk about the best Medicare Part D plan out there and laugh at all our mistakes and love your grandchild anyway. We get to deal with our learning curve. That's just the way it is.
It really is that easy. As he gets older, Zach is going to do stuff you probably won't approve of. If you ever feel the need to insult Zach, remember, you're insulting Mrs Happy and I. And that means you're insulting yourself because you raised us.
So, when you get that urge to say what's really on your mind, buy a really tall wall mirror, a comfy leather chair, and have a seat. And then just stare at yourself. Because it's your fault.

All you need to do is love, no matter what. That's all we ask of you. That's all we expect of you. Forever and ever. And that's all Zach wants in return. Any questions?
