Stop in for a cup of coffee
Really want to know?
It’s about this. The next generation. Passing things that we have learned on to them in hopes they avoid and learn from our own failures while fighting their way through their own as they find them.
Sounds simple, but its really not. Some people think you’re done raising kids when they hit 18 and go off to college the military or whatever. But that’s the furthest from the truth. In fact, if I had to pinpoint it, I’d say I learned more from my grandparents AFTER I turned 18 than I did before. And in the years since they’ve passed on, I’m still finding there are new lessons they are teaching me in their death. Granted, there are things I wish I’d learned from them more when they were alive but I digress
