Early this morning, my oldest daughter Maggie gave birth to my first grandchild. What a thrill and what a satisfying experience. I remember the day Maggie was born vividly. My wife Peggy was in labor for a long time with Mags. Witnessing firsthand the effort women endure in giving birth to a child was an experience, at least for me, that put in perspective the respect we guys owe women for carrying and giving birth to our children. No wonder it’s called labor.

God bless Kherri Ann Kinkela and her parents Justin and Maggie.
