There is no greater gift than a gift that shapes the good character of a child. My grandfather was most generous in his giving and with his gifts.
If I know honesty, it’s because he showed me the value of the truth and of being forthright.
If I know tenacity, it’s because I watched him begin so many projects and never quitting until the task at hand was done.
If I know craftsmanship, it’s because he was able to bring his creations from a blueprint in his mind into a tangible reality.
If I know stability, it’s because he never left me down, never left me alone, and never left me feeling friendless.
If I know loyalty, it’s because he always put his family ahead of anything else.
If I know unselfishness, it’s because he taught me to be open-handed.
If I know love, it’s because he encouraged me to bloom.
Take the gifts. Cherish them. Share them.
