And I do respect you for this decision to not be Grandpa in the Picture Frame.
May I share this story with you and don't mind me if I cry.
Little Girl and her Mommy, let's call her Suzie were talking one day.
Suzie said " Mommy , who is this?"
Her Mommy said "Oh that's my Mommy, your Grandma Lucy"
Suzie' Mommy , I look a lot like her. Would she have loved me? Would she kiss me, hug me, le5 me climb up on her lap?"
Don't be Grandpa Peng1un Jack in,the wooden frame. Be Grandpa Hack who takes them fising, plays catch with them. Be Daddy Jack,who walks your daughter down the aisle so she marries the love of her life.
Love your future grandchildren Grandma all the days of your remaining life. Let your grandbabies say,I want a marriage like Grandpa and Grandma.
But by all that is holy, don't opt to be just the fellow in the wooden Frame!
