Krystal - My daughter - in - law

After many months of not meeting the woman my son has chosen to spend the rest of his life with, I finally got to meet my daughter – in – law. She will be stationed at a base here in Augusta for – I am hoping – the next two or three years. I am very excited about the opportunity to get to know her better.

Another reason for my excitement is that she is 7 months pregnant with my first grandchild – a baby girl. I am really looking forward to being a grandmother. It is even more thrilling for me, knowing she is going to be here when the baby is born and for a while afterwards. It will be wonderful to have a little one to spoil and love on.

I am thoroughly impressed with this young lady. She drove all the way from Monteray Bay, California to Augusta, Georgia with only her grandmother for companionship. Krystal is only 19 and as I mentioned 7 months pregnant. I think she was incredibly courageous to make the journey.

She will be staying with my parents until she finds a place to live. I know that had to be extremely nerve racking for her to show up here – a place she has never been, with people she has never met – and make it her temporary home. I hope that after she gets over the initial nervousness that she feels like this place is another home.
