Oldest East Coast Grandson – 10/09/14

…and the boy, a bright and intelligent boy of eight, would stop sometimes and just look around him to see what was there.  For he knew, he had been told, that what he saw had not always been there, and what was now may not be there tomorrow, or a year from now or when he was old.  For sometimes, he could see in the distance the Empire State Building and now he knew once it was not there.  For once, he saw a photo of a man way up in the air standing on a rope of steel, a young man, a brave man, the boy thought, because he would never do that.  And the man was helping to build the Empire State Building and the space the man was in in the photo was probably space, a room, an office, inside the building and the boy thought that was neat.
