Like Grandfather, Like Grandsons

Well, the circles and cycles of life keep circling ‘round. With Mr. King are his two grandsons: Ciaran, aka “Lightning,” (the elder, now 5) and Rory, aka “Thunder,” (the younger, age 1). They are the progeny of Whitefire’s younger daughter, Chandra, and her husband, Dan.

Photo #1: Lightning gets instruction in hand checking as Thunder sits and takes notes.

Photo #2: Lightning is put to the test with Thunder on deck, standing and ready to mix it up.

Photo #3: Thunder lets Lightning know it’s his turn. Time to work Bob a little.

Photo #4: Thunder gets kudos from proud Papa after his first palm strike.

Lightning and Thunder—a dynamic duo. More to come, for sure. Maybe we can even get the granddaughters, Popeye and Pipes (Christa’s and Mike’s kids—Paige and Emery) in for a photo shoot soon. They’re already pretty seasoned!

Great memories! Such a blessing to be a part of these young soul’s lives!
