I retired from my job as a market research analyst in 2001, and after that, I volunteered to help students at different schools to learn to read and write. (See photo.) God has also blessed me by having me become a grandpa for my son's children.
I love being a grandpa, so much so that I started a free newsletter called Grandpa's Memories, which contains random thoughts from my exciting role. I consider memories to be a vacation to our past, & the great ones stay with you forever, like a faithful friend. As writer Saul Bellow once said, "Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door." |
