If I could invite one person from the past to spend a Saturday morning with me, it would be my Grandfather Aten. I realize that he would be my age and not a grandfather, but he already had a few children by then, and it would be incredible to see him at such a young age.

     I would also enjoy the conversation we would be able to share with each other. I know that I would enjoy learning more about his hopes and dreams for his family, and how he planned on earning enough money to raise them. Since he ended up raising ten children, I would be curious to know how many children in all he planned on having in the beginning.

     Most importantly, I would enjoy updating my grandfather on the changes in my life. I would tell him all about my wife and our marriage this past summer. Since he has never met Erin, I would want him to meet her. Finally, I would tell him again what a major impact he had on my life growing up, and I would thank him for everything � my values, my strong belief in learning, and most importantly, I would thank him for my family.

Dallas, I will try my best to write another story like this. Thank you for your thoughts and words.                              Mr. Aten
I think that is so sweet you want to spend a Saturday morning with your grandpa. I could not raise 10 children. I wonder how many he wanted to have. I�m glad that you married Erin. I�m glad that you love your grandpa. I would thank my grandpa for raising me. I would be thankful for my family.
