There’s those little bits of sunshine that brighten your life, and one of them for me and Katie is an elderly man who we pass by in our car while driving to our parish.

The parish is in a neighborhood, and about once or twice a month, when we drive through the neighborhood he is walking, oftentimes with one of his grandchildren; he has a coffee mug in his hand, and his favorite shirt has in big letters on the front: “GRANDPA”.

How wonderful that this extended family is so close that the grandchildren take walks with their grandfather every week!  All seems right with the world when we see him, and he knows our car well enough now to wave at us when we pass by.

I hope one day I will have a shirt like that and grandchildren who will want to take walks with me.
