[OFB Cafe] Grandpa's advice

[Rick Bowers]

My grandson turned two on July 30. At his birthday party this past 
Sunday, my son told me they were expecting their second child.

I have my grandson almost every Sunday. We mostly just hang out 
around the house or go to the park since he's still young. As he gets 
older, I hope to do more things with him and hope to be able to offer 
him advice along the way. Below is a story some of you may enjoy.

Grandpa's advice

This is a short story written by a grandson who had a very special 
relationship with his Grandpa. Many of us unfortunately were born 
after our own Grandpas had passed on and never had the opportunity to 
enjoy moments like this. The grandson writes...

I hope this will again confirm that the most important information in 
your life won't come from a teacher, the library or the Internet. It 
comes from a mentor, and always on a very personal level.

My long-passed grandfather's birthday is coming up and for me it is a 
time to reminisce. We used to take long walks and drives together. He 
would make special trips to pick me up so I could spend weekends with 
him.  I was young when he died. If he were living today and sharing 
his pearls of wisdom, I'd be a better man. Those gems were all well 
and good, but the one I remember best came from him when I was only 12.

We were sitting in a park, watching children with their mothers 
enjoying a beautiful spring day. He told me that one day, I'd find a 
woman and start my own family. Then came the jewel in the crown of 
grandfatherly advice when he said

"And be sure you marry a woman with small hands."

"Why should I do that, Grandpa?" I asked.

"It makes your pecker look bigger."

It kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
