Larry gave something important to his grand girls that lived across the way—his time. Astrid spent many hours with her Poppa. They squirrel hunted in the forest, built things, fished, shopped. A frequent outing was buying breakfast for them at his favorite hang out—The Waffle House! He gave all 3 Christensen girls driving lessons. They would have to back up using the mirrors of the truck. He took them somewhere in Johnson County where he let them drive for hours. He said Ingie was the best at going backwards. He held on with Sigrid. She liked the gas pedal.
The most important thing you can give those you love is your time. They will grow up emulating what they have seen you do, not following all the garage you spout with your lips. Little eyes are always watching.
