    A Dad, and former athlete in his youth, finds that the journey into old age can present challenges. Making his grand daughter happy on Christmas is it. With the aid of his old friend, the rusty kettlebell in storage from years ago, he embarks on his new mission and doesn't give up. People grow old, but the spirit doesn't have to....the Spirit of Christmas. Thanks for this piece.

One is a teenager now and the other two are right at that doorstep. The last time I saw them and even touch em was a bit over 8 years ago so I know only too well how missing 98% of their lives feels. I wouldn't recommend it. If any of y'all out there have grandbabies around where you get to see em, touch em and witness them growing up in person, you have no idea how truly blessed you are.

    This grandpa is lying in a hospital bed at this moment. I probably won't get another Christmas with my granddaughters. They are in their twenties or close to. I want them to come see me but I won't let them. I want them to continue their education and moving into their own place too being setting up the start of their career and new life. I don't want to slow them down by coming to see me all the time but they still do. I've been in lives since I witness their birth. I was in the birthing room when they were born. I love them so much.
