Not me, because I am male and old. My daughter and her husband had a baby tonight, and I was fortunate enough to get to be there, and fortunate enough that the baby was given my name.

They claim a 'miracle' happens when a baby is born. The mormons certainly have some very specific claims on what happens, and where this little person came from.

I think the reality is much, much more fascinating. I think it is a shame that myths are created when the realities of nature are far more complex, far more interesting, and far more hopeful.

I genuinely feel sorry for persons whose LDS 'life plan' is so boxed in from parental influence that they really have no ability to live their own life, and by doing so, project to their offspring a circular, perpetuating fraud.

Real life is far better than anything they could ever sell.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter's baby boy.

Congratulations on the birth of your grandson and namesake!

Life is beautiful.

Aww - congratulations. Big day for your family. And nice for you that you have a namesake. Have so much fun with your grandbaby.

Congratulations on the birth of your grandson! Babies are the most precious gifts!

Congratulations. :o)

Congratulation deco. Those are just the best moments and I am so glad you snagged one.

Congrats on your new grandbaby!

that's really a privilege

& being involved, highly engaged with an adult daughter- a wanted dad- love or emotional affection as a connection being invisible,

another human being given your name makes it visible\

(making love visible)

nice work grandpa!

Congratulations!

YAY! I love it when new babies are born!

I hope you & your grandson will be happy.

Not sure I'd have named him "Deco" though.

:-)

Congrats... that is wonderful and your statements are oh so true.

Congratulations to you and your family, Deco Sr!

How WONDERFUL!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations deco. I was there for the birth of 2 of my grandbabies last year. It's an awe-inspiring moment. The circle of life . . .

Congratulations all round.

Thanks everybody.

I get the feeling you're going to be a very good grandpa. Congrats.

The true miracle of life, is that it happens without the need of a miracle.

Beautiful, happy news! Congratulations! Wishing you a lifetime of special moments with your namesake.

Congrats Granddad!
