Grandparents
Posted by katie at 3:26 pm
My Grandma is a gift. For as long as I can remember she has been resourceful, clever, creative, hardworking and committed to her work. It is always fun to go over to her house and see the new project she is working on and sit down to catch up. Today I went to my grandma’s house because she has a piece of furniture that she is getting rid of and she thought I might be interested. Having just moved into a new place, I gladly accepted. Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile and hug as always. We started talking and and catching up on our weeks.
During our time together I was able to help her find some things online that she needed, recycle her old ink cartridges, pull somethings down off a high shelf, carry things downstairs and give my 2 cents on a few projects she was working on. All of these things she probably could have done on her own or found someone to help her, but as her granddaughter it was a treasure to be the one to offer a hand. After all the years and time she has invested into my life, who better to lend a hand and return the favor. So the question is, have you given a hand or checked in with one of your treasures? With the holidays coming up, usually we are thankful and helpful for a month or so, but why not start sooner? How about starting now, before it becomes cliche and expected. Just a thought. It might not make a difference to you, but they sure would love to see and hear from you.
