Our grandparents show us a different way of being. They’re older and they’ve gone through all of life’s shenanigans and all the madness and here they are standing — usually pretty tall. We look to them as aspirational because we want to be them one day. I wonder though, what if we didn’t wait until we were gray to be audacious.
