We have four greatgrandchildren, two boys and two girls. They and their parents travel through different stages of life. It is fun and inspirational to see changes in personality and plans, skills and interests. The changes bring to mind my own changes and those of my friends.
Last night, I asked a greatgranddaughter why her forearm was so smooth and nice-looking while mine was so wrinkled. She told me that mine had undergone years of developing a different kind of beauty, one that involved getting to a different kind of good-looking.
We have a percussionist, a painter, advanced soccer players, one who has recently begun living in his own apartment, a student in the 3rd year of calculus. A student of computer construction.
