My wife has 4 sisters and I'm one of seven kids so some of our family get togethers are pretty epic.
I was a grandpa for exactly one week a couple years ago. My son and his girlfriend had a son that we never got to know very well. Our last name is Davis and my son, the musician, named his boy Miles. There's a tiny little hole in seasons like Christmas for us.
Oh, damn. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring you down. I just type whatever I'm thinking sometimes. We have a big, close family and there's lots of love to go around here. Enjoy your Cristmas party Fran. Hug those grandbabies for me. They're precious.
