Are you hosting any family gatherings this summer? I really enjoyed writing this post for my friend Rebecca at Simple As That. I hope you’ll take a moment to follow me over!
For years, it was my grandpa—the one with the quiet manner and the undeniable sparkle in his eyes—who would don a baseball cap and pick up a bat at every family reunion. He’d swing that bat comfortably to his shoulder, and he’d suddenly look 15 instead of 65.
We kids would sit in rapt attention as he recited the poem, that epic story he had long ago committed to memory: Casey at the Bat.
For all the fun our family reunions were filled with—water wars and bike rides and lively rounds of the Candy Bar Game—I remember those quiet moments the best. Siblings and cousins—generations—united as we listened to Grandpa’s soft voice tell a story of hope and defeat.
For the list of activities that will help you build memories like mine of my grandpa, come visit me as Simple As That. Thanks so much!!
My wife would find this helpful! Bookmarked!
Thanks for sharing Erica.
