Awww, I'm so happy and so envious your children know your grandparents. I wanted so badly for my baby boy to meet my grandma but she died less than two weeks before he was born.

These pictures are wonderful, particularly the last one.

lovely. It reminded me of this...

Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.

-As You Like It

What a beautiful post! Thanks for this.

What a gorgeous piece. "Eavesdropping on the meaning of life" sums it up exactly right. We should all be so nosy.

Beautiful, as always. Makes me sad that my father is dying and won't get a chance to see our future generations (should there be any).

Thank you!! I have a baby who is just learning to laugh, and has smiling down to an art form. If I could, I would walk around all day with her, just looking for people who could use a baby smile. The story of the old man makes me glow. Again, thank you!

Your writing is wonderful. I love the depiction of young and old coming together. There is something quite magic about it.

This is truly beautiful.

2009-07-20T12:32:54.180-07:00

Thanks for this post. Like many other commenters, it brought tears to my eyes. More poignant because I just got back from spending two weeks with my 92 year old grandmother, letting her visit with my three year old and 4 month old. I am so blessed that she is around and well enough to enjoy my kids. Thank you again for your lovely words and pictures.

2009-07-20T07:06:24.424-07:00

Definitely put a few tears in my eyes. We need to slow down (especially when we have little ones) and be with each other in the present.

2009-07-19T17:43:30.778-07:00

This post is so beautiful. I just read it with tears in my eyes. The imagery & emotion you captured so perfectly. It left me wanting to thank you for brightening that old man's day...and made me miss my own grandparents fiercely.

2009-07-19T15:48:45.575-07:00

That's beautiful. My heart is so full when I see my daughter and mother together (they look a lot alike now). One 65 the other 16. Such a vast age difference and yet both seeking the same happiness in life. I'm glad you cherish those moments. It makes your life fuller and you a better person.

What a blessing for your children to have 3 great grand parents in their lives.

My goodness! Thank you for such a beautiful post. Tears. We are taking our ten-month old to meet his great-grandparents (the only ones he will know) in a week. I can not wait. Thank you.

2009-07-18T16:01:34.820-07:00

You all are lovely. Thank you.

And my Nana is the only extended family member or mine who ISN'T Jewish, actually so when you say she has smiling Irish eyes, you're close! She was born and spent much of her childhood in Yorkshire England.

Once again, thank you. I am grateful for these incredible women in mine and my children's lives. My great-grandfather also (he is equally as awesome.)

Love.

I'm pregnant with my first child, going to visit my 96 year old grandmother in a week. I can only hope she's around when this little one is born in December.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Simply beautiful.
