Grandchildren.
I have five, and they are amazing. Youngest is 9 months.
We have an old car goiong to the scrapyard in a couple of weeks, and today I sat in the passenger seat of it as my 13 yr old grandaughter drove it around one of our fields getting more and more confident as I encouraged her to stop, put it in reverse, and drive in the opposite direction.
From "this is too difficult" to "I want to be a rally driver" in a few dozen gear changes.
Memories like this are some of the luxuries of life. For her, for me, for her parents, and her siblings watching.

- brazukadev 27d agowhat's wrong with my question? Weren't bad people amazing 9 months old grandchildren?
- esseph 27d agoYou're talking about a CHILD, the posters grandchild, and some of the joys of life. And your response is "Well what if they become Hitler?" Are you serious?
- xyzelement 27d agoExactly. Amazing. My 6 year old kido started to paddleboard this summer and just today took our tandem kayak out by himself into the bay and handled it well despite the wind and waves. Would be hard to imagine a better feeling than watching him grow into a capable young dude.
- roykent 27d agoThis is going to be a core memory that she will hold on to forever
- drcongo 26d agoReading the parent reminded me that my first time behind the wheel was in my uncle's Citroen Diane on Black Rock Sands in north Wales when I was maybe 8 or 9. I say this as someone who barely remembers my childhood at all, so yeah, she'll remember this forever.
