Colton
I am sure Sandy is smiling in heaven at this new addition to her family. I am also sure that she was holding Colton's hand as he fought his way into this life and through the early trials.

Awww... grandma was so happy! :) Mom had, at first, a simple smile.. well a Cheshire* grin more like it, when we got to the hospital that night. I remember jokingly saying, "Mom, act more excited. You're finally a grandma!" And all of a sudden, she started to [literally] squee with joy as we were walking down the hall to the nicu.. Somewhere along the line, we then clasped hands, hugged, and did a little dance, no joke. The nurses -and my father- looked at us rather oddly, but it didn't matter. Why contain excitement?
I miss the Laverne to my Shirley.. She brought out the best in Chad and I, I personally feel. We didn't have to act-in-order-to-please around her. Mom wasn't afraid to goof around, whether in public or private. :)
I remember that day quite vividly.. and Landyn was smiling at grandma the entire time .. ^^ When she handed him to me, he actually vice-gripped her shirt and started wailing.. I can't help but think that I saw a smug, knowing look of content on her face that day.. I wonder what that means (hehe).
A special connection they had, I thought, from the very beginning.
