I’ve had many “adoptive grandparents” as I call them. There are so many beautiful souls. I often find there’s so much to learn and listen to when connecting with these wonderful humans whether they are family, friends or even strangers.

I once had a retired man who I would periodically chat with on the sidewalk while I delivered newspapers as a very young girl deliver a box of chocolates to my house as a Christmas surprise. I don’t believe we even knew each others names.
