hes already a good granpa

because hes talking, reading books and playing toys with his grand sons.

when i was growing up, i never had any memory of my dad reading to me or playing with me though.

but, i have a very distinct memory of riding around on the bike with him, either in the basket or in the back seat, going to the movies.

the memory of my granpa was of him sitting in his chair and giving me apples and boxed dutch lady milk. he didn't say much. i'll just leave it at that.

so my dad is definitely a better grandad already than his father was.
