Margaret and I spent Saturday night with two of my favorite people, Maggie and Cal. We played the part of babysitters while Maggie and Cal's parents went out for the evening. Considering that old Pop Pop normally only sees them on Sundays, getting to spend a couple of hours with them on Saturday was a treat indeed.
My grandchildren are remarkable. Maggie will be three in May. Cal will turn two in July. Each of them is a sponge, soaking up all that goes on around them, processing it, and learning how to act in response to it. Simply watching them as they go about their day-to-day is an educational experience. And it is one that warms me. Spending time in their presence reminds me of why, sometimes against all apparent logic and reason, I shall never stop believing in the future...
...or those to whom it belongs.
