Grandad

Grandfather advice:

This should reconfirm that the most important information in your life does not come from a teacher, the library, or the Internet, but from a mentor, and on a very personal level.

My long-passed grandfather's birthday date is coming up, and for
me it is a time to reminisce. The long walks we used to take. The long drives.
The special trips he would make to pick me up so I could spend weekends with him, and the advice he gave! Much was wasted because I was young, but if he were alive today and sharing his pearls of wisdom, I'd be a better man.

Those gems were well and good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandfatherly advice, came when he paused, looked me in the eye and said .

"Be sure you marry a woman with small hands. It makes your pecker look bigger."

Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
