I haven't been blogging often for the past month or so because I have been participating in the genealogy of the future. By being part of my grandchildren's lives and activities, I am helping to create the memories I hope they will record in the future.
When they remember the years that they were in band contest, I want them to remember I was there helping whether by providing moral support or by working in the hospitality room serving lunch to the contest judges.
They will hopefully remember that I was there for Scouting events and as they received their sacraments.
I also want to be an example of volunteerism continuing the legacy of volunteering in our families. There are many ways to serve the community we live in and I want them to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors.
A good choice you have made too! I wish my grandchildren lived nearby but they are 3 hours away so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! We were lucky enough to be able to visit them often when they lived in Germany and establish a close relationship. Now I live with them and can be a big part of their lives. I am very lucky!
