Children grow up while we parents are deep in the throes of life.
As agrandparent, its completely different.
Time spent with a grandchild is uninterrupted joy.
I cherished these meals with all my heart.
At one dinner, my mind drifted out of the room.
Here are some lessons that I hope they took to heart.
If you have feedback or a story idea then pleasecontact us here.
My grandparents owned a very successful hardware store inLos Angeles.
I remember my grandmother wearing sturdy shoes and thick socks.
They told me they were living their dream.
And not to let anyone get in the way of mine.
My granddaughter has dreams of a being a dancer and an actor.
My grandson dreams of being an artist.
If you want to dance, dance.
If you want to paint, paint.
All the great artists in fact, all old people were once young.
They all started with a dream.
We can only hope they pursued them as adults.
And although my grandparents did walk everywhere, I planned on driving as soon as I turned 16.
But as I grew up and started working, I realized the significance of that statement.
My grandmother used a simple bar of soap to clean her skin and then applied Ponds to her face.
And though I purchase many overpriced anti-aging creams, I still use Ponds to remove my eye makeup.
