When my children were babies my parents tried to tell me how very different it is to be grandparents as opposed to being parents.

Today my daughter and her daughter live...

You and I, we are the ordinary man and woman on Planet Earth. We are out here living our lives and doing a few good things, making a living, supporting our families, doing laundry, cooking a meal, working the land, whatever. We are the ordinary, and it is us, the you-me-and-we of us that is the extraordinary that mankind has to offer.
