The Trophies
They just look different now

While mowing today I noticed the grass under the middle swing is worn and gone. ..
It struck my heart that this is a type of “trophy”.
When we put in this swingset we did a good thing — acknowledged by the hours of play and validated by the small patch of dirt.
When we were young we won shiny trophies for sports or at work — now in our fifties, those things have sort of faded away.
But as grandparents, our rewards are there if we just see them —
The trophies are still there, they just look different now…
