Kadi is Johanna's second born child. She's all dynamite! She sparkles like the sunshine when she's happy, and explodes when she's angry! She is very bright and outgoing, and as the expression goes, as cute as a bug's ear. We had a go-around a while back when her daddy took her from Hanna and didn't bring her back. It was a nightmare for all of us. Finally, in a court room, Johanna got her rights back to her darling little Kadi. Her daddy got custody, but Hanna could have her often. I remember when we went to pick her up and take her home with her mama. She was in the back seat of our car with her mama discussing what had happened.She was not very old. She ask her mama why she hadn't come to get her. Hanna told her that her daddy wouldn't let her. She told Kadi that we had all tried to see her, but her daddy just wouldn't let us. Kadi considered all that had been told to her, then finally spoke out. "Well, I couldn't get on my bike and come to you." Hanna and I both broke into tears. Just thinking about a little toddler hopping on her tricycle and riding through traffic for miles to get back to her mama made me sick. Something like this should just never have to happen! Kadi is an example of what we could lose. So many times we take our family and loved ones for granted, and don't realize what a blessing they are. Hanna still does not have full custody of Kadi, but I know that the day will come when she will. Kadi still cries when it's time to go back home. She is sunshine! Shame on the clouds!
There's one thing I can say about all my grandchildren. They are all good-looking! This one went from soooo cute to absolutely awesome! Brodie is Cindy and Mike's oldest child. He is my number 2 born grandchild and he was born clear out in gold rush California. All the Rock babies were. I didn't think I would ever get to see them. Now I still don't see them enough! Brodie is very serious, but still has a very dry wit like his Dad. You have to pay attention to his humor. You may not get it. But it's worth the attention. He also (like all three of the boys) has a heart of gold. Partly genetic, I'm sure; Partly instilled by Mama. He ponders deeply all things in life, and doesn't accept anyone else's views. This boy will definately be self relient and self made. I'd like to say something very grandmotherish about Bro, but it just doesn't fit the bill. All I can say is I am constantly amazed with him. He is someone I am still learning to know, even after all these years. I can very eagerly say however that I love him with all my heart, and I am so glad that he came back to Joe. Town. My Brodie Michael Rock, solid as a rock... of gold!
