Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We helped out our daughter and son-in-law for four hours today with our grandson's fifth birthday party. It was at a park, and the sun was out and the families that came were super nice. We mainly helped guard the picnic table and food, watched the birthday boy's little brother and told people who was at the playground and basic stuff. Our older son came with our six year old grandson, and he and the five year old cousin have formed a strong bond this last year, even though they live 1 1/2 hours aaway. Partly it's because of the pandemic, and their families feel safe with each other, and partly because the older one is so sociable and affectionate with the younger, shyer one. It's a joy to see. The younger brother of the birthday boy is crazy about his uncle and their relationship is delightful to witness as well. The carrot cupcakes were a success and the children ran around enthusiastically for most of the time, so I bet there are some tired kids tonight. It exhausts me just watching.
