Grandpa's Cowboy Boots
Greetings to you all.
It seems so long ago. Four years and two months ago to put it in the ball park. So much has happened and changed since then.
At that time, Xavier's Grandpa Danny flew in to meet his new-born grandson for the first time. He brought with him a gift, one which Xavier would not be able to use for some time.
His gift was a pair of cowboy boots that he had when he was a boy. As you may imagine, they fitted Xavier rather loosely at the time.
Of course, everyone knew Xavier would grow into them eventually. We put them away, but every so often we would pull them out of Xavier's closet and try them on.
Always, until recently, Xavier's feet slid around in them quite freely. We tried them on the other night, and—at last!—they fit.
In fact, if the socks are too thick, you can't get them on. But once we figured that out, Xavier was up for a photo shoot to show off his heirloom kicks.
Xavier still needs to learn a few things about male modeling, or just modeling. We got a few good shots before Xavier's patience with the shooting thinned.
So, after four and a half years, Xavier finally fills his Grandpa Danny's boots.
To Grandpa Danny, Xavier says, "Thank you!"
