My Grandpa rocks. =)

First of all, he got himself an email account so now I get to keep in touch with him. (Email’s the only way to guarantee I’ll keep in touch – it’s easy and you don’t have to wait for a convenient time, unlike writing, cards or phone calls.)

AND – and this is the cool thing – he’s started writing down stories. Stories about his childhood. This is the greatest thing – now his grandkids can get to know him as he was then and can get a better picture of who he is now. =)

Sometimes I look at David and am sad. Someday, we’ll have kids. They’ll have kids. Our grandkids won’t know the David I know and love now – and he’s so wonderful! I know that we all change and that most of the time that’s a good thing, but as often as I can (as often as he’ll let me), I take pictures and videos of him – I want our kids to know him as he is now. I wonder a lot about what my parents and grandparents were like when they were my age, just starting out in marriage, in careers…

So, I’m so excited that Grandpa’s started writing things down! It’s a window into the past, into who my grandfather is. =)

I’m thinking of putting those stories online. Anyone (*cough* Mom *cough*) want me to?
