Isn't Ty's great grandpa, Ty, the cutest old man you ever did see? I cracked right up when he came to the door in a "Ty" hat - his golf buddies made it for him. It was such a special moment to see Grandpa hold his first great grandson...let alone one named after him. Grandpa was very emotional when we called him with the news. He actually dropped the phone and Ben was fearful we'd given him a heart attack! He told us, this week, that he was just so honored.
It was neat to be able to tell Grandpa why we named our son after him. Grandpa Tyrus has had an incredible life legacy. His successes are monumental (founded his own company, invented his own products, several patents, honorary doctorate, etc, etc), let alone his heart for his family...especially the grandkids. He is an incredible man. If our Tyrus can accomplish half of what his great grandpa Tyrus did, we will know we've done our job well.
We hope our Tyrus will have several more years getting to know his very special namesake...great grandpa, Ty.
That is the sweetest picture! Grandpa Ty seems like a phenomenal man, and he looks so proud to by holding his great-grandson. How wonderful to have such special people in your life!
ReplyDeletethey are both adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow full was your heart when you took that photo? I have an idea, because mine is pretty full right now.
ReplyDeleteGod is great.
What an incredible person to be named after!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture and post!
ReplyDeleteI am crying, you really have such a way of doing that to me LOL
I lost my gram last week and my greatest regret is that she never got to see my child
Although I have faith that she is up there all week having a talk with God about getting the baby here soon
God Bless you, you inspire me to fight the fight because in the end, I know the prize is so worth it by seeing you and Ben and TY

What a wonderful post and your Ty's great grandpa is almost as cute as he is!!
ReplyDeleteGrandpa looks great with little Ty, who always looks cool.
ReplyDeleteSoooo sweet! I love the photo of them together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! I love how little Ty was named after someone so special to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet man. And what a blessing to have this photo. Although I have to admit when I first looked I kept asking myself why Grandpa had a Thank You (TY) hat on. I get so used to internet and text lingo that I saw it to read that. Quickly I notited what it obviously was but it made me smile. Every day, even with his name.....he is full of thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of the two Tyruses! I love it. He sounds like a great man, and he's certainly a wonderful role model for your son.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny b/c I'm named after both of my grandmothers and I never thought about until this post how they must have felt knowing I was named after them. Something neat to think about after nearly 27 years (eek!)
ReplyDeleteAnd both Tyrus' are handsome!
That is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor for both of them>
Oh I absolutly love it. I love that he has so much family, and how cool to be held by your grandpa...much less the grandpa your named after. And yes, he is an adorable old man. :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to sign that last one with my name. LOL OH well..just letting you know I was that last comment. Love ya
