Gregory, I was looking through the BLOG tonight at all the GREGORY posts and just really thanking the Lord for you.  You are an amazing son, ya know?? I can’t believe in just a few weeks you are gonna be 13! And seriously starting 8th grade in August.  Talk about TIME flying in my last post about Titus.  Seems like just yesterday Daddy and I were expecting you when we still lived in the little apartment behind VONS in town.  You were THE KID back then.  Pretty much for THREE years you were the one we all sat around and watched play at any family gathering or holiday! All about you and now you are the FIRST out of 14 grandkids on my side of the family!

You are so unselfish most of the time and extremely helpful! Daddy and I joke and call you “john boy” because on WALTONS John Boy is the oldest and seems to take a huge load to help out in many episodes.  You are the same way.  Often times I don’t even have to ASK, you just do and I can’t even tell you how much that helps me! Just your thoughtfulness and unselfishness.  Even when I ASK something of you, you do and most often without complaint or arguing.  Thank you sweet boy! You also have an amazing love for you brothers! Melts my heart how much you love them all and care for them.  You are a sweet boy, who is growing to be a sweet young man.  We pray for you daily and pray that you continue to seek and walk with God all the days of your life and that you would be STRONG in Him.  

You were on my mind tonight Gregory and I wanted to thank you and tell you I LOVE YOU! 

Love, 

Mommy
