I wrote the following for my grandparents for Christmas. My Pop suggested I have it patented... well I don't know about that but I can self publish ;-) and share with the world just how wonderful my grandparents are!
As you near 90, I think of all the years I have been blessed to have you in my life. Now that I have Walter I think of all the things I want him to learn from you, inherit from you, and value like you do. Here are just a few...
I hope he learns the value of a compost pile.
I hope he learns and develops the skill and patience to produce something
whether its tomatoes, honey, wine …
I hope he is generous with his loved ones and those in need.
I hope he can tell a good story and include a song in it too
and appreciate a good story when he hears one.
I hope he works circles around everyone else.
I hope he has a mind for remembering details (names, birthdays, dates, faces) because people feel respected & loved when you remember their name etc...
I hope when people hear his name they only have good things to say.
