My son and I were having dinner, and we were talking about purpose in life and reasons for joy, and being blessed. I always bring up my grandchildren. That got us talking about memories because he remembers his grandfather in a very positive way. He was talking about Grandpa reading to him. My son would sit in grandpa’s lap. Grandpa would read. The boy would ask for another chapter and eventually Grandpa would say, “I think that’s enough for now”.
What I found interesting was he really couldn’t remember much about the story, but he remembered the experience of sitting and being read to. We are building memories. When you get to my stage the details may fade or disappear but there will always be those memories of lap time to add a glow to the day.
Spend time when and where you can.
