Kozzy is my Grandad

Congratulations, mate, great news to have another Blade in the world.

My little girl's first day on the Earth ended with her Daddy watching United win 4-0 (admittedly, vs. Yeovil), she has since become a season ticket holder just in time to witness the Wilder years. Her first full season ended with her watching her new heroes lift the League 1 trophy - her Daddy's first time seeing us lift one after 30+ years - her first derby match was 4-2 at Hillsborough and now she's set to roar them on tomorrow to the Premier League. After all the years of hurt I've suffered with the Blades, I'm tempted to think she's the antidote to it all and is going to see us into Europe AND win a proper trophy at Wembley.

Sharing the League 1 title with her was one of the most magical times of my life. The next couple of weeks could be a repeat. Enjoy every minute of her, they don't stay little for long and it won't seem like two minutes till she's holding your hand and walking wide-eyed into Bramall Lane for the first time, belting out the GCB and proudly declaring that Billy Sharp is the greatest striker the world has ever seen. Enjoy them moments too!

At the moment you are on the upslope of a giant rollercoaster. Over the next few years you will have to deal with first words, first illness, first tooth, school, making friends, losing friends, taking tests, going to senior school, getting boyfriends/ girlfriends, losing boyfriends/girlfriends, waiting for them to come home after a night out, taking exams, leaving home to go to university, watching them get their degree, leave home for good, get married, buy a house, get divorced, more illness, get jobs, lose jobs, become self sufficient, make their way in the world without your help, come crying to you when they need your help.

Then, just as the rollercoaster is coming round the last bend into the station, they say they are pregnant and expecting your first grandchild and the whole circuit starts again. Trust me, it's some ride.

A cold chill has just gone down my spine.

Don't worry I'm sure it will be fine.
