The article discusses the author's rewarding relationship with their grandsons, who are now young adults, highlighting regular gatherings that strengthen familial bonds. They engage in various outdoor activities such as hiking, playing Frisbee, and playing card games, along with creative writing sessions. This writing practice allows them to express thoughts and emotions about their shared experiences. The family enjoys these annual visits, showcasing the importance of maintaining connections across generations, even as the grandsons grow older.
Over the last eight years, our pattern has been to rent an Airbnb within an hour or two of their home, either in BC or in northwest Washington.
Writing together is a real treat. Some of our prompts have been: 'What I'll remember about this visit,' and 'What I plan for in 2023.'
Even with the distance between us, we manage to spend time together once or twice a year, and we always enjoy each other's company.
We share how we feel through writing, and our grandsons now offer prompts, such as 'My opinion of the last movie I watched.'
