Smiling Wes is Five Months Old!

Wes, how old are you now?
Wes is five months old today!
As I have shared previously, Wes has Jan’s smile.
Whenever I see Wes, his smile, like Jan’s, wins my heart.
Until his birth, I counted the third of every month as a recurring nightmare of the day Jan died.
Now, I wake up and remember it as when Wes was born.
If I do the math, five plus fourteen, the sum is the total months since Jan’s death.
Although I will never forget the day Jan died, being able to mitigate most of the pain is superior to wailing over my loss.
Perhaps when we stop identifying Wes’s age by month, my memories will only be of Wes’s birthday on the third of each month.
If that were to occur, my memories of Jan could focus, among other days, on her birthday, the day we met, our wedding, and the birth of our sons and grandsons.
One day Wes will walk with me in Jan’s garden, and as we scrutinize the wind sculpture, I can remind him how much Jan loves him even though she never met him.
Jan’s love will never die, and Wes, among others, will be blessed with her love.
May Wes be blessed with happiness today and every day!

Today, my happy, smiling grandson, Wes Jude Nucero, is four months old!
When I met him, his smile was identical to grandma Jan's.
Both of their smiles mesmerized me.
We inherit many traits from our family, but the most precious one is our personality. Jan's gift to Wes is priceless.
Happy Wes!
