I caught the Mail"

I dont have that many fond memories

But this one stands out to me the most

Im the youngest of 5 in my family and my Grandparents came to visit from Newzealand

being the youngest I dont ever get a choice of anything just usually get the left overs of whatever nobody wants

This time was differnt ,

I remember my grandfather opening up his suitcase , he had all sorts of chocolates and goodies in that bag

he said to me you are the youngest and im going to give you a choice of having whatever you want in my bag( differnt chocolates)

he was the only one that had ever asked me this given me the choice  not be the one thats always last

i was sooo confussed i didnt know what to do ,

i asked him to help me choose as it was a huge deal to me ..

i have never forgotten this ( he was such a sweetheart )

That is so sweet
That gave me goose bumps to think that he thought to let you choose first and then helped you pick. What a wonderful memory for you to have. Pop's / Grandfather's seem to hold such a special place in our hearts don't they!

Oh Debbie
That is so sweet
You must have loved your grandfather dearly at that moment
Its somewhat sad that something so simple as giving you first choice had been overlooked by so many others previously
Hope you get lots of first choices now...
