6Don's beautiful memoir celebrates the gift of a life lived with integrity, embedded within the loving relationships of family and community. These "recollections, poems, prayers, and imaginations" feed the holy with eloquence, and his grief and praise are equal expressions of his love. Filled with quiet awe, these pages keep the gift in motion and kindly extend outward to the reader so that we can feel our own lives warmed by the glow of Don's affections, held within the sightlines of his loving gaze. "We all need grandpas," Don writes. We are lucky to sit a spell with these stories, blessed by the presence of such wise and caring elders.
