Nana

 

Nana

In the pool I met this wonderful, born and bred, Texas “Nana”.  She is a proud “farm girl” as am I, so we really hit it off.  She made a deep impression on me. 

Several times a week she watches her 5-year-old granddaughter. Everyday, before she leaves, they have a little question and answer session.

The first question:  What did Nana do for you today?

The second question:  What did you do for Nana?

What an important lesson this little girl is learning.  A great way to point out to her that it takes someone doing things for us to exist.  And it takes us doing things for others, so we learn the ability to and, hopefully, learn to enjoy watching out for others.  This little girl is going to learn to recognize and appreciate this fact of life.  A lesson too few have learned.

Way to go Nana!!!
