Adam is my oldest grandson. He has had an exciting life so far and plans to make it more so as he heads to BC to continue his studies at UBC. As a baby he was beautiful and had some brains to match. He was every ones child and was handed one to the other when he was visiting. Very athletic but a little low key for a future in competitive sports. He excelled at hockey and played AAA midget for our town.
Adam has a large extended family in the Portuguese community and an equally large family on our side. He learned the value of food and ate all the special dishes of fish prepared by his grandmother. When we know he is coming to dinner we always add a few more potatoes and meat to make sure he has enough. We never have leftovers when he is around.
Adam took a year off university to travel to Australia to experience the beach life and from all accounts he did. When he returned earlier than expected due to a family death he began to think of the future and it included finishing off his college degree.
We never expected Adam to go so far away, but he had a plan, and probably a plan B for his life in BC. We will miss him but I bet he will be home for Xmas. His little brother already misses him and will have to give his attention to someone else like his big sister.
I left home at a young age never to return except for visits, and it was the best decision I made. Adam will look at this decision as I did and prove to everyone that he is no longer a boy, but a man - and a darn good one at that.

I bet his mother and granmother wish that he remained around them.
ReplyDeleteI'm just a ferry ride away if he needs more food ... or anything else:)
