Liliani

My older son Tony has a daughter named Liliani. I don’t know where the name came from, but I like it. She is “Lili” for short. She is going on 9 years old and is just about the best granddaughter a guy could have.

She may not be so sweet when she becomes a teenager – hormones have a way of killing sweetness – so I will enjoy it while it lasts.

She came to the RV for an overnight visit a few weeks ago. Jett, who hadn’t really gotten to know her previously, was enchanted. That is no mean feat – Jett is not easily enchanted. Lili loves to read, is very curious, easily engaged in any activity, swims well, played on a championship Little League baseball team and love s’mores. The perfect kid.

Well, at least she was perfect for that visit.

After the visit Jett called Lili’s mom, Krystle, to tell her that she was doing a wonderful job raising her daughter. That’s the kind of call you love to make.
