I have a lot of favorite movies and don’t hesitate to “borrow” some of the best lines. This posts makes me think of The Shawshank Redemption when Red (played by Morgan Freeman) says to Andy (played by Tim Robbins), “you can spend your time living, or you can spend your time dying”. But I don’t think it’s a binary decision. As Mr. Miyagi told Daniel in the Karate Kid, “you must have balance.”
So kudos for thinking ahead to your grandson’s important life moments and how you will celebrate them, while also acknowledging that time marches on.
Hi Judy - thank you for sharing your wisdom! It all makes me think. And plan. And imagine.
