A DAY FOR YOUR GRANDPARENTS!
Just in case you didn't already know, this
is Grandparents Day! You know. Your Mom
and Dad's Mom and Dad! If you're lucky
enough to have grandparents around give
them a hug. Or a phone call to say "Hi!"
I never knew either of my grandfathers.
Both had passed long before I was born.
My Dad's Mom died when I was about
3 so most of my memories of her come
from photographs. My Mom's Mom, however,
lived in an apartment above our home till I
was in about 5th grade. I spent a lot of time
with her when I was in those grade school
years. We'd play dominos and checkers
and usually munch on some cheese. I've
tried to be a good grandpa to our six
grandkids (and several exchange students
who have become like grandkids to my
wife and me. I guess it's worked out OK
because I even got "promoted!" I was trying
to explain to our youngest grandson that my Dad
was his Great Grandfather. He insisted
that was me because, as he put it, "You're
great." I suppose, in that case, that does
make me a "Great Grandpa!" I hope that's
truly the case and that all your NEWS is
good!
