One minute you are Gram and Pop Pop. The next thing you know you are a giant sea turtle! It can happen! It can happen to you!
An hour spent with our two-year-old granddaughter was a transformation. Even though no one else in the world knew or felt it, it happened. The world was changed. A relationship was strengthened. From this day forward, we will have been “big sea ‘tuh-tles’ together.”
What a privilege to be invited into her world. One minute she wanted us to teach and protect her, the next she was trying out her own brand of two-year-old servant-leadership as she fed us and told us stories. What a joy to rekindle our own imaginations and see the impossible right in the middle of same old, same old.
What if I missed this because I was too busy working?
(Confession, I too easily be too busy doing something.)
What if I missed this because I was too busy texting or scrolling social media?
(I love keeping up with friends and family on social media, so I get it.)
What if I missed this because I was too busy trying to capture it and stage it perfectly?
(Yep, guilty again.)
