The Future?

Even as we attended Jason’s graduation all eves were on this cute little "dude" Dominic Don our youngest great grand baby.
We are hoping for the best for Jason! -as he walks off into the sunset holding hands with his girl friend with the red streaked hair. We do hope he likes college, does well, gets a good job & all that stuff.
"The future belongs to the youth" I heard in the graduation speeches. Maybe I’m looking to far into the future but time seems to move so fast.
It wasn’t that long ago I helped Cindy with her new babies. One, a gentle soul with patient brown eyes. The other with red hair, blue eyes and a colorful personality.
So, at Jason’s graduation party seeing GGpa Brandner exchanging giggles with Dominic and thinking about "the future" I realized I’m not thinking about 5 or 10 years down the road. I’m thinking of 15, 20, or 30 years down the road. I’m not thinking of the next family gathering. I thinking about family gatherings where I may be or old or to feeble to attend. I’m not thinking about our children or their children but rather I am thinking about our children’s children’s children.
