Grandparents

Take time to get to know your grandparents. Take time to get to know them as people. They'll be gone before you know. Oh, you'll still see them-- they won't see you, They'll be gazing at their children, their children's children and you'll observe. You'll observe. You might smile, cry, laugh... Your nose might start to run. You might remember how your own grandmother was the most glamorous person at the Florida swimming pool. You might remember how in his younger days her husband, your mother's father, looked like a movie star-- a Clark Gable, a Cary Grant... In warmer days, upon returning to your apartment, you might catch a scent from the hallway reminding you of a distant elegant high-rise condo. That night you might sleep a bit sounder.
