On August 8, 2015, Christian turned 9 years of age.  It was such a joyous time held at Johns Incredible Pizza.  Christian is Jeannette's nephew.  I asked him about the money he received and he said to me, "Grandma, I am putting it into my savings account."  I opened an account for him when he was a baby.  He has always known that the money saved is for his education.  I have told him that grandma might not be around by the time he goes to college and that he needs to save for it.  He is such a good little boy.  Smart, funny as heck, lovable, etc.  A little boy that has never known his grandpa even though his grandpa lives in same town and only miles away.  He doesn't dwell on it and instead cherishes all the love we all give him here.  He had such fun on his birthday and received many presents.
