A Special Gift
On Christmas Eve, once everyone thought all the gifts were open, Grandpa Bolger had a special surprise. Sitting in the corner of the room was one more gift..."To Johnny and Gavin". By the shape of the package my husband knew right away what the gift was. A special heirloom that he knew would be passed on to any Bolger sons and grandsons. So on Gavin's first Christmas, Grandpa Bolger gave a baseball bat signed by Hank Aaron to the next generation of Bolgers. It is a gift that is priceless and will continued to be passed on from generation to generation.
Gavin is that you?
I received a startling picture from great-grandma Stern. At first glance I swore this was my son, I mean I really thought it was Gavin. However the clothing gave it away and told me this photo was taken earlier...30 plus years earlier. This is daddy, but the similarities to Gavin are uncanny.
