Edward massaged his seventy-three-year-old back as he sat in his cramped attic. When he opened the largest box, he laughed out loud.
“Grandpa?” Maddox tapped his phone and removed his earbuds. “What’s that?”
“My old vinyls and my record player.”
“Cool! Play them for me.”
Edward’s heart swelled with pride.

As I opened & read this wonderful vignette, the stylus had just been lowered onto Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Teach Your Children'”. Wonderful serendipity! Thanks for a great start!
Wow, Ron, that is wonderful serendipity. Thank you for sharing it! It made my day. :-)
Nice, emotional cross-generational connection, Jenise. Well done :)
Thank you, Jennifer!
