Grandkids

Eventually life's journey brings you to a new generation -- not your own, not your children, but the next -- holding your babies again. The joy is overwhelming. Things are very familiar, but everything seems more filled with wisdom and peace. Joy is double for the difference. We are filled with fresh dreams.
