the special people you come across...

This summer the boys and I spent lots of time at the cottage (pre buying a house that is) and this year the boys met a special man that they refer to as 'Cottage Grandpa'. This man's cottage is a couple of buildings up. When we drive to the cottage they look for his truck when we pass and yell with absolute delight when his truck is there, and are devestated when it is not.
This summer Cottage Grandpa swam with the boys, played with them, he involved them in landscaping, gardening, building when he was doing such things. He took them for bike rides, he listened to thier stories and took delight when they shared thier treasures with him and he kept them in line at the same time in a kind and loving way. This man became very special to them this summer

 

We are thankful for 'Cottage Grandpa!'
