Grandparents

I have to comment on something I said earlier about comparing Floyd's activity to my own grandparent's. Although my grandparents do not have the physical abilities to maintain that level of activity, I see a similar type of enthusiasm for life in my grandparents that I saw in Floyd. Grandpa has always been an important presence in my life. Growing up only a few blocks from him, I got to spend much time working on puzzles, blowing bubbles, and most importantly observing and sharing his appreciation for life. I comment on his decreasing physical abilities, but hell, up until his body quit on him, he was a competitive swimmer at 80 and never missed his morning coffee on Piedmont Ave. My father's father lead a Ballroom dance class till he had to get a knee-replacement. And grandma, still engaged as ever, snipping and sharing articles with everyone. She still gets out of the house to play piano and attend group meetings. All my grandparents have taught me to live my life with the appreciation and enthusiasm they have. Thank you, grandparents. I felt it was necessary to clarify my previous mention of them.
