My grandfather’s birthday is coming up, so it seems only fitting that I’d share one of his quotes. A couple of Christmases ago, my mom gave my brother and I bound copies of his memoir that he had written several years before he passed away. Although I loved my Pap immensely, I never knew how insightful he was. I’ve now read through his memoir, entitled “In Retrospect” at least three times, and it sits permanently on my nightstand.

When my world seems to be changing so fast that I can hardly keep my head from spinning, I find solace in his words, and in the reminder that I am blessed beyond measure.
