"Riley and I had spent the day together watching a cartoon moving in the morning and then went to the Cog Railway in Colorado Springs to take the train up to Pikes Peak. I purchased box lunches to eat on the train, which of course included a prize in his. As we were climbing the mountain, I got a pair of binoculars from my pack and gave them to Riley to use on the ride. I told him he could take them home and keep them when the ride was over. I had also brought a large package of M&M's which were sparingly distributed a few at a time during the trip. A some point during the ride, Riley turned to me and said, "Grandpa, when I grow up, I want to be a Grandpa." told by Grandpa Jerry P.

A little about the author
- by cat:
- Frederick Buechner says :“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness & the world’s deep hunger meet.” That’s my greatest desire My path bends to benevolent causes of non-profit/church variety. I want to contribute to the world, not take away from it. Whether it was how I raised my children, support someone else in his dreams, be a catalyst for ventures enriching for the soul, educational or even in celebrating life! I am intensely curious about things larger than me & actually like thinking the big, scary questions of life; satisfied with a perspective not necessarily an answer.I know forgiveness, kindnesss & empathy are not only healing attributes but create more of a holistic awareness towards understanding. I believe life is more than survival; the heart is more than a muscle; we can know right from wrong;I believe in faith, hope & love. I believe any life can make a difference. I believe the message of the cross. I think what makes life worth living is volunteering, caring, giving back, paying forward. These actions create passion for life & full circle comes back to each of us in satisfaction & joy. Cathenry (one word name)
