Whimsical wonder grips our heartstrings and pulls us along a nostalgic path filled with wonder, the joy and pain of growing up, of growing older. You’ve done a remarkable job of detailing that head-spin we all experience when we realise that wisdom and ability are not a byproduct of the ageing process. However, there are benefits to growing up, especially if you have the memory of a grand parenting adventure to keep you company.
