Legacy

There have been many conversations with Gayle recently as we enter that grandparent phase of life. Discussions have centered around what we have passed on to our children. Values, quirks and of course those dreaded “He’s your son” character traits.


Now it has been obvious that I am not perfect or even near perfect (surprised?). OK, mildly put, I am difficult. My saving grace is that I won’t be around to hear what people say about me at my funeral. Gayle’s will be simple,” How did she put up with him for so long?”. I digress. We often discuss our son’s and what we have passed on to them. It invariably comes down to as the father, what I have passed down. The long range view on this is, what have I passed on to my grandson through my son. Yikes.
