What My Grandson Said This Time

The original story that I posted on my blog is called

"What My Grandson Said."

I wrote it in

April of 2015.

At the time he asked me,

"Papa, can you smell that?"

I said,
"Sorry Grandson,but I lost my sense of smell a long time ago."

So he replied,
"Papa, when I get old and you're dead......"

I interrupted him right there!

"Grandson, I don't like that kind of talk, where you say I'm dead."

He said,

"OK, OK. It's not like it's the end of the world or anything."

This is,
Saying It Would Be The End Of The World For Me!

Now,

seven years later he often goes with me on my morning walks when he comes over on the weekends to visit me.

After a mile into our walk this last Saturday,

he turns and says to me,

"Grandpa we need to spend as much time as we can together because you might not live much longer."

I let it slide this time around,

about him referring to my inevitable demise.

His heart is in the right place

and with him wanting to spend time with me,

it put a smile on my face.

Then he started playing around!

He kept walking in front of me so I would almost trip over him.

I said, "If you keep it up I'll give you a good shove!"

He replied, "No you won't. You're afraid of my Mom!"

I laughed, he stopped,

and I texted his Mother about our conversation.

She texted me back,

"You are!"

I Love My Family So Much

This photo doesn't include my son Henrico and his family,

my son Monchito and his girlfriend,

and my daughter Danielle, her son and boyfriend.

My dream is to have everyone in one photo someday.
