Grandchildren's special events, such as graduations, can do that, too. I find I have more forgiveness for my own young foibles when I view them through the lens of traits I might share with a grandchild. I wasn't always as adventurous as I would now wish I had been, but I can forgive myself when I see a grandchild who also needs to answer every "what if" before she ventures forward. I smiled when you characterized your granddaughter as someone who has the world as her oyster, hoping that you felt that way about yourself, too.
