#TalkToMe: Grandmother and Granddaughter Share Memories -- And an Extra Foot Bone

In the context of a long and full life, the best reward is spending time with my grandchildren. And it's not just freedom from responsibilities of diaper changes and homework and boyfriend trouble; it's the joy of sharing exactly these same things, knowing that the wisdom of a lifetime is valued.

In the context of a long and full life, the best reward is spending time with my grandchildren. And it's not just freedom from responsibilities of diaper changes and homework and boyfriend trouble; it's the joy of sharing exactly these same things, knowing that the wisdom of a lifetime is valued. In the time we spend together, my grandchildren and I are creating priceless shared memories, which will, if I am very lucky, live on in the generations to come.

I welcome you to eavesdrop as I share a priceless moment with my 15-year-old granddaughter, Julia Barkan.
