Dear Maddie, Part Two

So we made our way, meandering, back to the hotel, stopped in our room for a bit and then made our way back up to the Terrace. Pop Pop had a beer, but I opted for some ice water and we just chilled for a while in the easy chairs set about in front of a fireplace and TV. When the bartender came by, I asked him, "would you guess we are just having a grandbaby?"

He was so nice! He asked all kinds of questions, including what your name would be. I told him the Madelyn part, but as of that time, we didn't know your middle name. It was so nice to be able to share our news with someone who, despite not knowing us, seemed to care.

Back in our room later, our phones began to buzz wildly, and there...in all your beautifulness, was a picture of our newest grandbaby. We fell in love immediately, Maddie....and we will love you forever.
