Per my granddaughter, my name is officially 'Pops.' Not Pop. It's plural, for I am many. Now, the naming of grandparents is a difficult matter. It isn't just one of your holiday games. Obviously, since it took her this long to settle on a preferred name. All the other grandparents had claimed their title, but I was patient. I floated 'O Mighty One', but it didn't stick. So Pops it is. I like it. It has pep. And I'll never grow tired of hearing them say 'Pops'. Though other grandchildren down the way will be able to choose their own names for me, I do request the names be the same per family.

She's right, you are a "Pops". Very fitting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the best title you'll ever receive. May many more mouths come to shout for "Pops" in the days ahead.
