The Date
Stationed in Okinawa, Japan, my son and his wife were expecting their
first baby.
I was elated when he
called me at work with the news of my grandchild's birth. I took down all
the statistics and turned to relate it all to my co-workers. "I'm a
grandfather!" I declared. "It's a baby girl, and she weighs five pounds."
"When
was she born?" someone asked.
Recalling the date my son told me, I stopped, looked at the calendar, and
said in amazement, "Tomorrow!"
