New shoes

I don't think I ever appreciated how good my parents were as grandparents, or perhaps I'm just more aware these days. When our two girls were little their Nana and Papa invited them for many sleep overs. Many times they took them shopping and without fail they came home with new shoes. Of course the little ones were tickled pink and we were thankful for their generosity. My parent were raised in the great depression and I think really liked being able to give their grandkids something they didn't have themselves. What is amazing is that to this day our girls love to buy shoes. Their husbands might call it an obsession :) I doubt my parents ever though that this small kindness would make such a significant difference. Every time I see our girls buy new shoes for themselves or their little ones I think of my folks how it all began.
