I told my grandchildren, choose the road you love, dance, sing and be fearless. I learn many moons ago, I had enough and I told the rising sun. I could not ask for more. I held my sixteen-month granddaughter yesterday, she smiled for me and I knew. I had everything I needed. I saw in her eyes, love and trust My children are doing well. Now once busy man make time for them. The best days, babysitting my three grand-boys. My greatest wealth, the beach days and our mystery day adventures with my grandchildren. I know, life is more than me. We are what we leave behind. Our children, our grandchildren. The true wealth of a life. My children asked me. what do you need dad? I tell them I am the richest man I know. I have the family near, happy and strong grandchildren and you are standing on your two-feet. Strong minded. I could not ask for more. Dancing Coyote
So beautiful and heartfelt John. I resonate to this:
I” know,
life is more than me.
We are what we leave behind.
Our children, our grandchildren.
The true wealth of a life.”
