I started having coffee with my grandpa every morning, and his stories from the past are like time travel. Why do we wait so long to listen to the people closest to us?
Wait, you just STARTED having coffee with him? That hits hard. It's wild to realize how much time we let slip by before doing the simple stuff that matters most. His stories must feel like finding treasure you didn't know was in your own house.
Funny how those little moments sneak up on you. Like last year, I finally asked my aunt about her travels in the 70s. She pulled out this old photo album, all dust and cracked edges. Turns out she traveled across Europe with just a backpack and a map. Hearing her laugh about getting lost in Rome, it was like finding a secret part of our family. Makes you wonder what other stories are sitting right there, waiting for a cup of coffee.
