My grandfather was always inserting bits of wisdom
in the oddest moments. Recently reflecting on the last time we were together, I wondered why grandpa thought eating ice cream was such a great
time to speak on splinters.
“David, you have to barefoot walk some parts of life. You’ll
never know how good soft shoes feel until you’ve toe limped with splinters. It’s the thing that slows you down that shows you
if the destination is worth the journey.”
I wish grandpa had written a lesson plan on how to
appreciate treasure before it was lost to an obituary.
