On Getting Old -- 9



We visited our son, Chris, and his wife, Yvonne, in Phoenix. The occasion – the second birthday of our youngest grandson, Emmett. Now let me tell you, for candy to sweeten the way there is nothing like spending time with your grandchildren.

We had not seen the family for five months, and the joy when the oldest, Calvin, opened the door and jumped into our arms with a big smile and a bigger hug lightened our spirits and returned the bounce to our step. Naturally, little Emmett followed his brother’s lead. We nearly crushed the boys with our hugs. [Hugs are good. They are candy in themselves.]

Needless to say we spent the rest of the day following the boys around. We had to see and play with all their new toys.

The wait to see the family was well worth today’s candy.

Ciao
