through the eyes of babes

I got up at 3am. I couldn't get back to sleep. Usually I can't go back once I wake. So I come out to my chosen family.

Yesterday I went to see my grandson. He's a cool kid. When I pulled up to his house a great big smile filled his face. He says "Grandpa, I found you!" I snatched him up and gave him a great big grandpa hug and kiss. I looked right in the eyes and told him, "I love you!"

I chatted for a bit and asked my daughter if she wanted to hang out with me. We went to see my brother MIke. When we got to Mike's, there was a female duck just hanging out near the front door. I said "look Dylan a duck!" He eyes got big and was entranced by the duck. I asked him "what does a duck say?" He's says "quack, quack!" It was so cute.

We visited Mike for a few minutes. Then I brought them over here. Dylan headed right for the saltwater tank. He says "look grandpa Nemo has a tail!" "Nemo is a clown fish, grandpa." They visited for a bit , then I brought them home. It was a nice visit.

Wouldn't it be great if we adults could look at the world through the eyes of children? Imagine how much wonder and pure joy we could have.

I used to do this in my mind alot. I would pretend I was looking at things for the first time. I would look around and think "wow, that's cool or that is amazing or I wonder how they built that." I was astounded at how many new things I found.

I'm running out of things to write. I would like to thank you all for your support. It has been a lifesaver for me.

"Walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk in front of me, I may not follow. Walk beside me and be my friend."

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,
