    "This is working" No, sir. Your love for her is working. I grew up next door to my Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop, she is and he was my best friends, and they didn't have a theme park... well, maybe they did, swimming pool, creek in the front yard, massive hill to sled down in winter, tons of Christmas blow molds and plenty of goodies to eat. Technically, I guess you could call that a theme park too! Either way, it's your love bringing her back every day, just like I visited my grandparents every day!

    My parents always told me that grandchildren are the “do overs” you get for your own children lol.
