A Girl and her Grandga

As my daughter Addison grows up I never thought the bond with her grandfather would be so great.  It has been amazing to see them bond and spend time together.  Her grandparents live out of state and she only gets to see them a couple times a year.  For a man that has been so tough all his life and now seeing what a seven mouth old girl can do to him is amazing.  I am so glad that she has her grandfather in her life and I know he is happy to have her.  I can’t wait for the day she gets to go for a ride in his 1969 Mustang like a big girl and be giggling and smiling from ear to ear.  When I am able to capcher that moment it will be a wonderful day.  As Addison grows up and gets to spend more time with her grandfather they will continue their bond and create memories to last.  I now understand how important it is for family and how sad it is when kids don’t have these people in their life to help them out.  Addison will grow up into a wonderful person and the family in her life will play a big part of her success. 

There are many kids that need help, not money just your time.  If you have the desires go to your local orphanage and see if you can donate your time.  Take a book and just read to them, play games or just talk about life.  These kids are there because of reason they have no control over but are the ones paying the price for others mistakes.  You can’t believe what an hour of your time each week will do in a young person’s life, you can also take your kids it will be a good life lesson.  It will also help you put your life into prospective and realize your problems are not as bad as you first thought.
