"We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away."
- Jim Broadbent as Dean Charles Stanforth in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I'm not a fan of almost any film that is connected to Steven Spielsberg. I didn't catch the Raiders series with Indiana Jones when it was in the theatres. Today a couple of the films were on cable and I watched one. When I heard the quote that is the lede for this post, I shook my head.
Life is always giving. It is also always taking but I want to focus on the giving with this post.
I have lost my mother, my father, both sets of grandparents, all my aunts and all my uncles. Yet, I am not alone. And new faces keep arriving on the scene.
Eloise loves visiting her grandparents and all her grandparents love seeing her. |
My two granddaughters with another on the way are, for me, life's way of saying the giving never stops, nor do the smiles stop coming.
