Grandchildren of our age
When I speak of our grandchildren, I mean the grandchildren of our age, of our generation.

Shared grandchildren
To give of our thinking toward our shared grandchildren is a sacred act.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2093–At my funeral
Footprints in the Windsm # 2093
At my funeral, I do not want, or think I do not want, pictures of me from graduation, wedding, birthday parties. How could we ever get a picture of me at my client conferences, or fishing with my father in law, or fighting with my wife, or especially at critical junctures of my life: when I got fired; when I had my dream the night Mom and Dad died; when I got sent to watch Johnny Carson instead of being in the delivery room when my first son was born; when I made critical decisions about my life course in the high school gym and in the lobby of a hotel in Portland, OR some fifty years later. Perhaps I should have my years of journals for people to dig into. What would show your life and quandaries and themes?
