My Grandpa-

MY GRANDPA

Many of us unfortunately were born after our own

Grandpas had passed on and never had the opportunity

to enjoy moments like this. I hope this will again confirm

that the most important information in your life won't come

from a teacher, the library or the Internet. It comes from a

mentor and always on a very personal level.

 

My long-passed grandfather's birthday is coming up and

for me it is a time to reminisce. We used to take long walks

and drives together. He would make special trips to pick

me up so I could spend weekends with him.

 

I was young when he died. If he were living today and

sharing his pearls of wisdom, I'd be a better man.

 

The one I remember best came from him when I was

only 12.

 

We were sitting in a park, watching children with their

mothers enjoying a beautiful spring day. He told me that

one day, I'd find a woman and start my own family. Then

came the jewel in the crown of grandfatherly advice when

he said, "And be sure you marry a woman with small

hands."

 

 

"Why should I do that, Grandpa?" I asked.

 

"It makes your pecker look bigger."

 It kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
