Learn Anything Today?

November 8, 2020
"Well, did ya learn anything today?" A phrase that Grandpa said to me anytime he saw me after school. It started in elementary school when him and Grandma were staying with us for a while. Every day, he'd sit me down at the kitchen table and ask me that question. And he wouldn't let me get up until I gave him some sort of answer. As I reflect on his time with us, I can't help but realize all that I've learned from him. He taught me how to build and how to grill. He taught me the value of a cheap cigar. He taught me how to solve a Sudoku puzzle. He taught me how to dance no matter what anyone else thinks. He taught me to be a lifelong learner. He taught me how to be a fixer in every sense of the word. He taught me how to love people without even having to say it. The list could go on and on, but most of all, he taught me how to be a God-loving and God-fearing man. A man who leads humbly and courageously. The kind of man that I strive to be every single day. The best part is that I'm sure I'll still be learning from him even now. And trust me Grandpa, I won't do anything you wouldn't do. Even though that gives me a lot of leeway.
