Making Memories

I am back at home and mostly waiting for my appointment tomorrow. Yesterday, I was glad to have the company of my grandson Dustin with me. He is a hoot and I enjoy his company. It is great spending a day with him to take my mind off the "monster". I seem to go to the worst case scenarios when I think about the next couple of weeks. That is ... I will be dead soon.

So I try and "make memories" with my grandson(s). I heard this expression a couple of years ago when I was at one of my 12 step meeting. This very wise woman, May, would say she was going to "make memories" with her grand kids on that specific weekend. What a wonderful gift; it's can be inexpensive and last a life time.

Yesterday we made some more memories. Dustin needed a haircut and off we went to the "barber". However, Dustin had other plans and he whispered in my ear "Gido ... I have a plan. After the haircut, we can go and get a kids meal. Does that sound like a plan Gido?" He said this so his grandma couldn't hear. He wanted this to be our little adventure. This was our plan and it was a good one.

So off we went, a haircut, a happy meal and hopefully a lifetime memory for both of us! It cost me $4.16 and two hours of my life. A good deal I think.
