The Moments May Be Brief, But The Memories Last A Lifetime

---

Those boys of ours...

Were good sports when listening to those long, drawn-out, boring stories from the past. Such good sports that that grandmother of theirs took it one step further...

Because a few days before the visit, a picture popped up on Facebook memories. A cute picture. A family picture. A cute, family picture of Grandpa and his boys from years ago—and one of us knew, just knew, she had to recreate it.

And talked about it endlessly, as in..."Gotta get to Dairy Queen and take that picture. Let's not forget to take that picture at Dairy Queen. Before you go, we have to..." well you get the picture.

And so we did...one last stop before heading home. And it was fun. Ridiculously fun. Posing and snapping. Snapping and posing. Grandpa even joining in with a chuckle and a sort-of half-smile.

It wasn't perfect. Photo-taking-me somehow reversing the seating order. The new picture a reverse of the old picture. Can use the magic of technology to switch it around but then the letters on the shirt go the wrong way...

But who cares? This old gal's heart was full.

And so it is...in life...be a good sport. Make someone special smile. The moments may be brief, but the memories will last a lifetime.
