Well here we are in late September. My son will be a father again in just a few short days. He has yet to step up to the plate and take responsibility for anything in his life.

This is the second relationship where he has gotten a girl pregnant and stayed with her until she was 8 months along and then walked out on them.

He has a beautiful little girl somewhere in Kentucky.
Who is fortunate enough to have a wonderful mother who has taken good care of her. God sent a very nice man into their lives and he has become a wonderful father to this little precious girl.

Here it is just as if someone put a VHS in and pressed replay. Just a different young girl and this time it's a baby boy. His name will be Jayden and he will be arriving shortly by C Section. We are waiting for his lungs to be developed enough
to breath on his own.

The baby's mom is feeling very alone and abandoned.
We invited her to stay with us after the baby is here. So we can look after her while she heals from the C Section. This is her third and last child.
She is 24. Each child has a different father. Her other two babies call my son Daddy Joe.

I have never felt so angry and yet so sad for my son as I do now. He has proven to me that he is irresponsible and neglectful of everything that means anything in life.

We are fortunate enough that this child's mother will let us be grandparents and help her out from time to time.

Baby Jayden has some things stacked against him. His mom has smoked all through her pregnancy and she tested positive for marijuana at the last pre natal exam. She says that it's from the stress of being alone through this that has made her keep smoking.

Which I totally disagree with anyone who is pregnant doing anything to harm the life of their baby. But who am I to say anything. I am walking on a thin layer of ice here. I do not want to see my grandson growing up in a bad situation.

My goal is to make sure he is safe and well cared for. As long as his mother will allow me to be a grandparent to this little one.

I'd gladly raise him myself if given the chance.
So keep little Jayden in your prayers and I will keep you posted on when he arrives.
