"The Gospel Accorded To A Wild Hare"

#3 I thought becoming a grandfather would make me feel old.... "Your children are having children of their own." It is definitely one of those life affirming moments, but bifocals, male pattern baldness and arthiritis have done more to remind me of my mortality than anything else.
    A grandchild brings a new felt warmness of hope and intense love. The child in you awakens to a new playmate. It's OK to be silly. You're a grandpa... they won't call the guys in white coats just yet. So, indulge yourself as you rescue the princess from a cardboard tower. A knight's reward is a hug and kiss from her while you share a gallon of ice cream. You have years to teach, much to share and a world in which to demonstrate how to dream.
