Papa Brian...

My husband didn't really know his father growing up. After 35 years of him being lost to us, we found him. Since then he has been a major part of our lives. Last December we moved him to Kansas from Michigan. I always worry that when some one new meets Malachi they may not know how to handle him.

From the very first time Brian met Malachi he seemed ready to handle anything. Of course I realize its not that easy. But one thing Brian does know how to do and that is make Malachi happy. It can be rolling around on the floor with him, or giving him a cupcake even when he doesn't need one. Or playing basketball with him.

Malachi really loves bubble wrap and Brian always makes sure he has some for him. Malachi has come to expect this and Papa never disappoints him.

This year for his birthday Brian got him a musical card. We wasn't sure how Malachi would like it since he never had one before but when Malachi opened it we soon found out how much he loved it. He carried it with him all over the house. He played with it until it went dead. So this year for Halloween he got Malachi another musical card and again he loved it. He plays with it everyday and the first night he got it he even wanted to sleep with it. Those cards can be expensive compared to other cards but for Malachi they are an expensive because it makes his day and he gets more use out of them most people probably do.




Papa Brian sure loves Malachi and I am glad that he has another grandfather to spoil him with the things that makes Malachi the happiest even as small as a little card.
