Tuesday's Treasure ~ Traveling With Paw Paw

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

This is one of my favorite photos. This was taken when Handsome Hudson took his first spring break to Mexico when he was two. He was so excited to be taking a plane and going with Paw Paw, Nana and his mom and dad.

When we returned Paw Paw emailed this to me as he wanted me to share with Hudson when he was gone. 

"One does not have to do anything to become a grandfather. It simply happens when your child has a child. It is up to you to decide how involved you will be in your grandchild's life. There is an inherent biological relationship but the emotional bonding between grandfather and grandchild comes only with effort. It happens when the grandchild sees that you are open to forming a relationship. It happens when you get off your easy chair and make the effort to see what matters to your grandchild."

  "Grandpa has ears that truly listen, arms that always hold, love that's never   ending, and a heart that's made of gold."           ..........  Proud Happy Mama

Oh my gosh, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, Dorie. What a special photo and the quotes really conjure up memories of my own grandfathers and how very special they were to me. 

Hudson will cherish this photo and will, one day, share it, and many others, with his own grandchildren. 

Happy Sunday!

My grandparents were married for 63 years.  Every summer for the majority of that time, they vacationed in their home in Oak Bluffs, on Martha's Vineyard.  When Grandmother died suddenly in 1979, the question was whether or not Grandfather would make the trip to the Vineyard.  They always drove up and he was now 93 - could, or rather should, he go on his own.  There was no way we could just tell him he couldn't go!  Once this man made up his mind, there was no changing it.  I went with him.  It was a trip down memory lane to the summer I spent with them when I was 10.  Much like Hudson, the impact of that time together will live with me forever.

Such a heart warming story that tugs at the heart strings. I think of that now that my daughters' grandfather passed and grandmother is '91.  She is poor health and when they lose her, it will devastate them.  Good souls are hard to lose!
