A Will to Change

Hi Grampa.

Hi Sweetie.

Grampa?

Yes Olivia.

I love your house.

You do?

Do you know what I like the best about it?

What do you like the best?

I like the best that you’re here.

What are you looking for Grampa?

It should be in here somepl…. Ah,

Here we go, it’s a document.

A document Grampa?

Now let’s see, yep,

Here’s the part we want.

May I have that pen over there?

No the other one.

This pen is fancy.

O.K. now give me a hand here.

Do you like cats enough to worry about them?

I like them, but Grace is allergic.

O.K. no cats.

How about the Episcopal Church?

We’re Catholic.

Enough said.

People who don’t try to contact me?

What about them, Grampa?

Should they be helped?

If they ask, you have to help them.

Hmn…Fair enough, but these haven’t asked.

Are you crossing out names Grampa?

Yep

Why?

This document is like your toy box.

You have to clean it out once in a while.

To make room for other things Grampa?

Yep

Grampa Grant is Richard Hille, a long time Laguna Beach resident, a lawyer and urban planner, with three Grandchildren ages 4, 7 and 10.
