January 18th 1986
The day after my first son was born! I called my dad to see if he would come up and have dinner with me,they use to give you a steak or shrimp dinner for two at Hilcrest hosp. when you had a baby! Most had dinner with their husbands,but I was single. Since I had decided to name my son after my dad I figured that was a good time to ask him if that was ok.Anyway he came up and my dad really hated hopitals, he got faint when he went in one! lol so I felt lucky when he said yes! I think he about passed out though when I told him I wanted to name my son James! Because he started choking on his mini apple juice(in a mini champaigne bottle) and said I guess so then he got up and left the room!lol
There I was thinking "oh crap! oh crap!"
Then he walked back in sat down and finished eating,grinned at me and said "so are you and little Jimmy going home tomorrow?"
"Need a ride? Or will you mom be here to get you?"
