One of my 7th graders asked me today,"Coach Freddie, are your grandparents coming to the assembly?" I took and deep breathe and said, "Well Ali, they are with us here everyday!" Right there I took the time to remember the past when I would walk into the farm house and yell, "HELLO GORGEOUS!" And it never failed that my Grandmother would tell me to get my eyes checked. 
Or when Grandpa would ACCIDENTALLY turn one of the dice over when he thought we weren't looking just to get himself a few more points! 
I shared some of my very fond memories with my student Ali and then thought about how this conversation will happen when Renee gets to be this age (12) and I know that both grandparents will be there for her.

So a big thank you to all of you Grandparents out there, we love you and appreciate everything you do!!!!

ReplyDeleteStudent "Ali" will remember that conversation the rest of her life and will sometime repeat it.... That is a wonderful teacher-student moment! Love you!
Don't know anyone that had a relationship like you and your grands. How lucky for all of you that you had all those years of hugs and kisses...who enjoyed them the most?
