As grandparents, we are always looking for something to catch the eye of our grandchildren, their attention, their minds, or their food palates to make our time with them special. Yes, we can always buy them something special. Buying is easy. It's the time spent with them that counts. When:
buying them a game, we must play it with them.
purchasing trucks and cars, we must rev it up with them.
giving a fishing pole, we must fish with them.
making food for them, we must include them in the preparation.
buying coloring books, paper, markers, paints, and crayons, we must design with them.
getting out the Playdoh/Legos/building kits, we must build with them.
picking up a book, we must read to/with them.
choosing a writers notebook and writing utensil for them, we must write/sketch with them.
being a grandparent, we must really be with them when we are with them.
being with them, we will share our hearts, our minds, and our souls.
As a result, we will always be with them in their hearts.
