I love the way you introduced your son to his grandfather through his well loved gadgets. Your father will live on into the next generation and hopefully the next beyond that. Beautiful story!
Really lovely description of a person deeply involved in the life in front of him. And the upsides and downsides of having (being) an older parent: more calm attention for parenting, less time on the far end for having grandchildren.
So true! I was lucky to have so much of his attention and time, and I benefited from his maturity. But I was also painfully aware of his age and that our time was likely shorter than most kids with their parents. 💔

Has your son discovered the joy of yard sales yet?
Oh yes! Early and often!
Love the square chicken egg joke and all the gizmos. Your dad reminds me of my grandpa, who was about the same age as your dad when I was born.
Sweet memories --- and I love that you named your son for him. What a tribute.
I love the ending!!
I really want a square 🥚! Thank you for sharing this. I love how you connected from your Dad to your son. 🙏🏼

Such a heartwarming story and tribute to your Dad.
Wonderful wonderful story. It’s remarkable how ordinary things have such power of remembrance! Thank you for this.
