at the end of the day, I realized my brother’s
feelings matter a lot to me. As I watched him
storm away, I knew I’d do things differently next
time.

Intro: As my kite bounced up and down in the
wind, I smiled at my grandfather. Our day
together in the park was going to be full of fun
and adventure.

grandfather was a gift. And like any special gift,
it should be treasured always.
