As I TAKE MY 7 YEAR OLD GRANDSON ON A WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I FEEL THE WARMTH OF HIS HAND IN MINE. I LOOK AT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND TREES.THEN I REALIZE THAT JR IS EXPERIENCING THEM IN A DIFFERENT WAY- WITH HIS SENSE OF TOUCH. HE LOVES TO FEEL THE LEAVES AND TREES ALONG THE WAY. HIS DAD (MY SON) ENCOURAGED HIM TO HELP WITH PLANTING AND HARVESTING THE GARDEN. HIS PUMPKINS WERE NOT VERY BIG, BUT YOU COULD SEE THE PRIDE ON HIS FACE AS HE HELD THEM. NOW HE HAS A LITTLE SISTER, AND I AM SURE HE WILL TEACH HER ABOUT THE JOYSOF SEEING AND REALLY 'FEELING' THE JOYS OF NATURE.
