Investments

I listened to my sister speak to her young, adult granddaughter as we drove home from our sibling weekend a few weeks ago. The tone of her voice, her words, the ease of the conversation and her reassurance as my sister spoke to her granddaughter. All I could think was the investment my sisters have made with all of their grandchildren is unmistakably the best investment one could make in this time of great uncertainty.

I have watched and listened to my sisters as they have been there for their children and grandchildren. Their availability to "be there" in whatever capacity was required, traditions and family occasions when all the family gathered so the sense of family was established and reestablished throughout the entirety of their lives, attending whatever events their grandchildren participated in. 

I have had the advantage of being about a decade behind my sisters and have heard them speak of "coming events" as the years advance. The years that separate us have all but disappeared over the course of our lives but I still look to them and learn.

Investing in family is a good way to go. I've still got a lot to learn.
