His paper boats always seemed to sail farther
As a child, I loved sitting by the window, watching Grandpa turn a sheet of paper into a boat. He folded slowly, pressing every crease flat. I could hardly wait to put it in the water.
Later, I met plenty of people who could fold paper boats. But I still remember that wooden table, and an afternoon with nowhere else to be. I want the children in our family to see how he helped us grow up, in these small, ordinary ways.
