PAUL HARVEY'S LETTER TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN
We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen.
It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.
I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.
If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.
I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy / girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it... And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he/she is not your friend.
I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.
May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.
I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.
These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.

💓

My hands will eventually tell the story of how I lived
Soft with wear
Calloused from work
Scarred, yet healed
Scratched, with broken nails and cracks
Imperfect

My face will surely tell of my age
Wrinkles and lines, fissures and cracks
Framed by gray hairs and probably sun spots

My body already tells the truth
Of a lack of self control
A little too much of me, on the hips and at my waist
Too many carbs, too much of a sweet tooth
Too many cold beers on hot summer days.

Sometimes I get frustrated that my features are a little too sharp, that my hair is a little too straight, and that my shoulders are a little too broad. I wish my nails were a little more manicured, and that I knew how to contour my makeup.

But the other day, I saw a photo of an elderly ranch woman's hands- hands with skin that was as translucent as tissue paper, with big knuckles and misshapen fingers and in my mind, I pictured this beautiful woman who had lived an incredibly full life. She likely reached a point long ago where she didn't worry about wrinkles or gray hairs, and it dawned on me-this is how I hope my grandchildren see me when I am old.

I hope that they see a woman who worked hard, cooking meals and breaking colts and tending to cattle and babies, while mending fences, driving tractors, and riding a desk chair. That they see a woman who knew good times and bad times, and through it all, managed to persevere.

I hope that they see a woman with a little extra fluff to hug at her middle, with wisdom lines around her eyes and hands that are perfectly imperfect. After all, true beauty really has nothing to do with how we look, but how we live.

Don’t wait for the perfect weather to ride your horse. Don’t wait for the best sunset to take a picture. Don’t wait for someone else to say ‘I love you’ first. Don’t wait to call your mom. Don’t wait to stoke the fire on your life. Don’t wait to change your unhealthy ways. Don’t wait for your kids to get older to incorporate them on your adventures. Don’t wait to forgive yourself for the wrongdoings, and don’t wait to do it better next time. Don’t wait to write the book, make amends, or pray. Do it while you can, while your children can witness the truth of you and your actions, and while your parents are still here. Do it for the you inside that’s begging to shine. Do it afraid, do it with heart and do it with love. Just do it today❤️

Happy Trails ☀️ Heather
