just someone special, grandpa

Every Sunday, I've been driving down to Queens to visit my grandparents. As I grow older, I've found that spending this quality time with them has become increasingly more important. Maybe it's because I know they won't be around forever. Maybe it's because they're full of wisdom and advice. Or maybe it's just because it makes them happy. But these are definitely visits I cherish.

In America, I've found that we have a tendency to sometimes forget about and discard people after they reach a certain age. This isn't the case in all cultures. I hope that in the future, this changes.
